New Board Member Spotlight – Meet Kayla Page
As a virtual school teacher and parent, Kayla Page is passionate about creating supportive, engaging learning environments where students thrive. She teaches 3rd grade at Cascade Virtual Academy (CVA) and serves as CVA’s Community Engagement Specialist and PTO Chair, helping to build strong school-family connections.
Kayla has two sons, a 2nd grader and a kindergartener, who attend CVA. This dual perspective allows her to connect deeply with families and support a vibrant, inclusive school community.
She believes in nurturing curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning. Outside of school, Kayla enjoys time with her family, traveling, dragon boating, camping, and beachcombing.
We’re thrilled to welcome Kayla to the OVPSA board!
