Drop Off Times
Parents are asked not to drop
off students prior to 7:00 AM. With the shift to later school start
times, our school security personnel are not on duty until that time.
Therefore in the interest of student safety, we ask for you cooperation in
matter.
Change in Attendance Messages
During AP, IB and SOL testing at high schools from
Monday, May 1, 2017 through Friday, June 9, 2017 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.
Lockers Next Year
Due to our large rising freshman class for next year, we are implementing
a slight change in how we assign lockers. Rising freshmen, sophomores, and
juniors will automatically be assigned lockers for next year. Rising seniors
(current juniors) who wish to have a locker for their senior year need to fill
out this
google form. It will require you to be logged into your schoogle account!
Library Closed During Testing
The library will be closed periodically
throughout AP testing the next two weeks. Please check the schedule on twitter for the complete list of when the library is open/closed.
If you have library
books you would like to renew or return OR fines to pay, please visit the
library during the OPEN times or visit our "LIBRARY ON A CART"
located outside the library (near Door 2) during Cougar Times when the library
is closed.
Performing Arts Department
Presents Les Miserables
CAN YOU HEAR THE PEOPLE SING? This Thursday, May 11- May 13th at 7:00pm,
Oakton High School Performing Arts Department presents Les Miserables. Based on

Jean Valjean, as he runs from the ruthless Inspector Javert on a journey beyond
the barricades, at the center of the June Rebellion. With a cast, crew and PIT

production. Starring Parker Waters, Diego Maldonado, Jack Lankenau, Lindsey
Jacobson, Lydia Talamante, Liam Klopfenstein, Isabella Morello, Joe Walker,
Carolyn Best and many more. Tickets will be on pre-sale for $12 during lunches

Leaving FCPS this June? Please back
up your files to take with you.
Over the last few years you have used your FCPS Google Drive accounts
and the school's computers to store/share projects, papers, and presentations.
If you are leaving FCPS this June, your Google Drive accounts will be turned
off as soon as you graduate/move and your school files will be deleted by the
Fall! Here
are some ways to back up your files and take them with you.

Bicycle
Laws and Safety Tips
The
laws regulating bicycling on Virginia's public highways define the rights and
duties of bicyclists as well as the motorists with whom they share the roadway.
Bicyclists and motorists basically have the same rights and duties, and the
laws governing traffic regulation apply equally to both. This summary is intended to help
bicyclists understand the laws that apply to the operation of bicycles in
Virginia.
Fall Guard Spin Clinics
The Marching Cougars is looking for students for Fall Guard for the 2017
marching season. The Fall Guard will hold a spin clinic that is open to ALL
students to showcase the guard and skills we use. This clinic will prepare
students for auditions and is scheduled for Saturday, May 13, from 2:00-3:30
pm. Please contact Miles Strebek, Guard Coach, at oaktonguard@gmail.com
if you have questions or would like additional information.

Oakton HS Spring Physicals
To participate in sports next school year, your child must have a
physical on file dated on or after May 1, 2017, on the new form (Revised April
2016). This includes working out in the weight room, conditioning, “green days”
and try outs.
The Oakton High School Athletic Training Program is offering an opportunity for
students to receive a sports health screening and pre-participation physical
(PPE) on Monday May 15, 2017 from 5:30-8 pm. Our team physicians, as well as a
staff of nurses, physical therapists and certified athletic trainers will be on
hand to provide a thorough screening. If during the screening or physical, the
physicians find something that is questionable to them regarding your child’s
health, they may request further evaluation by another physician. We are asking
for a minimum donation of $50 in exchange for the PPE. Registration is now open
to register for a PPE, go to: https://www.fcps.edu/node/33735 or go to
www.oaktonathletics.org and follow the links for sports physicals. There is
also a link for the new form there as well. Walk-ins are also welcome on that
evening but we ask for a $60 donation at that time. This physical is good for
the entire following school year.
This is the Athletic Training Program’s method of fund raising. All the funds
for equipment and supplies are raised at this event. The county provides no
funding for any of the supplies or equipment in the athletic training room that
is used to take care of our athletes. Your support would be greatly
appreciated. You too benefit from this process. Once your child’s VHSL physical
form is completed that night, it stays on file at the school, as well as a
digital copy is kept on our server, so if you need a copy just email one of the
ATCs and we can sent you a copy.
PPE’s are being offered in the same format at every high school in FCPS and are
fund raising efforts at those schools as well. If you can not attend the PPEs
at Oakton H.S., there may be another local high school offering the opportunity
on a date that may be more convenient for you. If you have any questions or
concerns, contact Paul Rupp, MS, ATC at prupp@fcps.edu.
