Welcome to the Valley Oaks Taft web page! We are a satellite office that serves Valley Oaks Charter School families living in the Taft, Maricopa, Cuyama, and other outlying areas in that region of the county. The office is located within the First Baptist Church, 220 North Street, Taft. There is one resource teacher (Beverly Wetterholm) and an aide (Tami Salazar) with office hours 8:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. Mondays - Fridays each week. We are available for appointments and some tutoring if needed.

Our office facility allows us to have enrichment classes and other gatherings. We have access to a gym, kitchen, and many classrooms. We have enrichment classes the same weeks as those of the Bakersfield site, except they are on Thursdays. The enrichment classes are usually broken up in two levels: upper & lower elementary. They are taught by Mrs. Wetterholm, Mrs. Salazar, and Taft parents. We have a wonderful group of about 20 students. We choose enrichment classes based on the needs/desires of our students. Some of our classes include: drama, acting, art, crafts, kitchen science, music, student leadership, and others. We have activities in addition to the enrichment classes such as: family picnics, holiday parties, our own field trips, and educational classes. We offer state testing in the spring at our site.

Any questions? Phone Beverly Wetterholm at 747-9818.
