understanding of content and skills outlined in the Portrait of a Graduate in
order to be successful in the workforce of the future. For more information and additional meeting
dates, please click here. To request an interpreter, click here.
Students in grades 3-6 will be taking the Virginia Standards of
Learning (SOL) Tests from May 7 to June 1. It will be very helpful if you can
avoid appointments and trips which may take your child out of school during
this time period. Make up testing will
occur throughout the window based on staff availability to administer
tests. Please click here to view the complete SOL Testing schedule.
Did you miss our order deadline
for our Original Works fundraiser? Guess what, due to the overwhelming
response, Original Works has reopened the Gallery for your
ordering convenience until Sunday, April 22, 2018. Please refer to your student's
letter that you received earlier, for additional ordering information.
This will be the last chance to order.
While Original Works cannot
guarantee, they will do their very best to fulfill orders in time for Mother's Day. Thank you, as always, for
supporting Oak Hill!! If you have questions or lost your student letter, please contact Tara Gildenhorn at tara.gildie@gmail.com.
 These
sixth graders represented Oak Hill at the 26th annual “Peace It
Together” Summit at George Mason University where they learned conflict
resolution skills.
On Friday, April 27th, the Chantilly Pyramid will
celebrate our annual College Day! Staff members will wear clothing from
their alma mater and will speak with students about their college experience.
In addition, Chantilly High School seniors will be interviewed on our
morning news show and will visit classrooms to talk more about the importance
of college and to answer any questions students have about college.
Your child is invited to wear clothing from a college of his or
her choice or wear Oak Hill spirit wear.
The earlier a child knows and believes he or she can go to
college, the more likely he or she will attend. Our pyramid’s goal is to
start the college conversation with our students and families. We
encourage you to ask your child or children about this fun event and let us
know if you have any questions.
Thank you for your support! -Kimberly Gallagher and
Christy Ryder, Oak Hill School Counselors

Staff Appreciation
Staff Appreciation Week at Oak Hill Elementary is quickly
approaching! It is less than one month
away and is taking place May 7-11. We have a great week of festivities planned (including a catered lunch)
that is sure to let our teachers and staff feel valued and appreciated.
We have two ways for parents to make a meaningful
contribution to the festivities. You can either donate your time or make a
voluntary monetary contribution.
VOLUNTARY MONETARY CONTRIBUTIONS
We are taking a slightly different approach this
year and rather than asking parents to contribute supplies, we are asking for
monetary donations to cover the costs of the week-long festivities. Its a quick
and easy way for you to let the teachers and staff know how much you appreciate
all that they do for your children. We are accepting voluntary donations up until May 2,
2018. Donations may be made in three ways:
1. Check (made payable to "Lauren Meurlin" and
sent in to the main office in an envelope
labelled for "Lauren Meurlin, PTA Hospitality Coordinator")
2. Cash
(sent in to the main office in an envelope
labeled for "Lauren Meurlin, PTA Hospitality Coordinator)
3. Paypal (https://www.paypal.me/LaurenMeurlin).
If prompted, be sure to select that you are sending a payment "to a
friend" to avoid paying transaction fees.
A donation of $10 per student is suggested, but any
amount is welcome. For more information about how to make a monetary donation,
please click here.
VOLUNTEERING YOUR TIME
If you are interested in volunteering your time to help
set-up and execute the planned festivities, please click here.
