Parent Resources
The Oak Hill PTA is an advocate for the parents.
It provides a means of communication
with the school administration and teachers on many issues throughout
the school year. It also provides parent education programs that
address topics of general interest or of specific current concern.
There are parent
resource books available in the OAK HILL SCHOOL LIBRARY. The parent
resource shelves are directly to the right of the door to the library
workroom - or ask the librarian.
