Attendance May
2 – June 7 – no morning phone out
During AP,
IB and SOL testing at high schools from May 2, 2016 through June 7,
2016 the morning attendance telephone calls, texts and e-mails to home for
reporting a student’s absence will not occur. This temporary suspension
reflects the fact that students are often in designated testing sites within
the school during the normal attendance-taking time. The evening attendance
telephone calls and e-mails will still remain in place.
Oakton Crest
Parking
The Oakton Crest neighborhood is a small community
of 18 homes located next to Oakton High School off Blake Lane. It is
comprised of 18 homes on one dead end street, Oakton Crest Place. Residents
are asking that we assist in encouraging our parents, as part of a good
neighbor policy, not to park on the street waiting to pick up students. The
parked vehicles are regularly blocking deliveries, trash removal and residents
attempting to enter the community. Your consideration is greatly appreciated.
OHS Color Guard
Recruitment
Oakton HS
Color Guard is now recruiting for the upcoming fall season! We need rising 9th
and 10th graders to join this amazing group of performers and athletes. Color
Guard is a fabulous activity that requires no previous experience, builds
character, and looks great on college applications. We have a wonderful team
that welcomes and nurtures newcomers, so please encourage your kids to join.
