Welcome to College View
College View has a long history as an award-winning, high achieving Title 1 School for demonstrating high levels of student academic achievement and reducing the achievement gap. We maintain a consistent focus on improving student achievement through our strong Professional Learning Communities, our commitment to on-going Professional Development, and authentic literacy. Our highly qualified staff, which includes three Ocean View School District Elementary Teachers of the Year, provide effective standards-based instruction and a positive learning environment for all students.
Orton-Gillingham Trained Teachers at College View.
We’re proud of the high-quality teachers at College View. To help support student achievement and learning, all kindergarten through third grade teachers are trained in the Orton-Gillingham approach to teaching literacy. This approach helps provide our early learners a strong foundation while gaining competency in the skills necessary to read and write fluently. The Orton-Gillingham approach is a direct, explicit, multisensory, structured, sequential, diagnostic, and prescriptive way to teach literacy. This highly structured approach breaks reading and spelling down into smaller skills involving letters and sounds, and then builds on these skills over time. The teaching of new concepts incorporates visual, auditory, and kinesthetic pathways. With this approach, students learn language by ear (listening), mouth (speaking), eyes (seeing), and hand (writing).
At College View, we intentionally focus on building relationships with our students based on trust, respect, empathy, and a sense of belonging and community in and out of the classroom. With this in mind, our staff takes a unified approach to behavior. Our Positive Behavior Intervention and Support Program (P.B.I.S.) is practiced school-wide and encourages our students to make positive choices and meaningful contributions.Throughout the year, we focus on monthly character traits which promote students being Responsible, Always Kind, Respectful, having Integrity and Perseverance.
Parent involvement is encouraged, and College View offers many opportunities for families to get involved. We have an active, results-orientated and supportive PTA along with a School Site and English Language Advisory Council that allows all community members to offer input and monitor the school goals and expenditures to achieve our growth targets. Clear and precise stakeholder communication and participation is achieved through a myriad of avenues; district, school, and teacher websites, a monthly newsletter, our Aeries Communication system, Take Home Tuesday Folders, email and text blasts.
