Ocean View strives to support a safe and secure learning environment that treats all students with dignity, respect, and high expectations

Student attendance is of utmost importance for students' success in school.  Please make every effort to have your student in school each day for the full day, barring illness or one of the other EdCode excused reasons.  Please be aware that per EdCode, a 30 minute+ tardy or early pick-up counts as an absence, and will show up on your child's attendance record in Aeries under the "O" code.  We want to partner with you in your child's success and school and attendance is the greatest indicator of their sense of belonging and academic success.  Thank you for your understanding and support.

Small class sizes allow for individual attention and foster ensemble skills. The teacher is Greta Haug-Hryciw. Singing classes are offered for students in grades 3–8, by Tim Silva. The children will learn how our voices work with the songs we sing, and they will begin to read music, sing, play, and have fun together! No prior musical experience is necessary for either class.
