 The 4th Grade Team dressed up for Read Across America week!
 Parents,
The basketball game is almost here! We’ll see you at 6pm at Chantilly High School. It promises to be a great game! Players and cheerleaders should wear their shirts Friday at school.
IMPORTANT: When you preorder tickets either online or in the lobby, your family’s name and the number of tickets ordered will be entered onto a list. Simply give your name at the door when you arrive at the game and we will stamp your hand for entry. No need to remember tickets!!!! If you order in the lobby, you will receive paper tickets in addition to having your name on the list.
Families that have joined the PTA get two free tickets included with their membership. See you Friday at 6pm when Oak Hill hits the court!

Spring is almost here and we will be
ready to begin spring clean-up/planting in our Oak Hill garden! We are in
need of parent volunteers who would be able to help with planting, watering,
weeding, etc. throughout the spring, summer, and fall. If you are
interested in volunteering or want more information about this wonderful
opportunity to be a part of a great learning experience for our Oak Hill
students and families, please email Jane Wheeler at jgwheeler@fcps.edu.
 Absences Add Up: Attendance Matters!
As the second semester begins, we want you to know how FCPS follows up on student attendance. Regular attendance and active academic engagement yield the best student outcomes. In Virginia, public school students, aged five to eighteen, are expected to attend school daily, unless their absence is excused due to illness, a death in the family, a medical or dental appointment, or religious obligations.
We reach out to parents when:
- Students don’t arrive at school as scheduled. We must hear from parents within 48 hours of an absence, and will try to reach parents to find out the reason why the child did not report.
- Students are chronically absent (miss 10% of the school year, for any reason).
- Students have five or more unexcused days, because this is a truancy matter.
Parents assist educators by:
- Continuing to communicate with schools when your child will be absent.
- Planning non-school related trips, such as those scheduled to visit relatives, or family vacations, when schools are not in session. Doing so helps children avoid lost learning opportunities.
- Monitoring your child’s attendance.
- Seeking resources, including school support, if your child is experiencing difficulty in school.
