 Oak Hill was well represented at the Chantilly Pyramid Art Show.
Dear Parents and Guardians,
We certainly are experiencing Spring weather this week with
the cold and hot temperatures and the rain and sun! It sure did put a
damper on our Field Day plans, but we have rescheduled our 4th-6th grade
Field Day for June 11. Thank you to PE Teachers, Elizabeth Croy and Ernie Herring,
and to all the parent volunteers who had planned fun activities before the
rainy forecast dampened our outside efforts.
Thank you to our wonderful office ladies and the work they do to
greet and support our students each morning and the numerous jobs they
fill each day! One hour they may find themselves the clinic aid, a bird
catcher in a kindergarten classroom or even finding the owner of a stray dog on
the playground! This is in addition to the registrations, financial
bookkeeping, custodial work orders, managing the school’s calendar for daily
and community use or assisting classroom teachers with substitute
coverage. They are a small team, but a team who works well together under
pressure! Happy Appreciation Week to our fabulous office team! Next
time you are in the office, please help me to express gratitude to these hard
working ladies.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to further
support your child’s learning and experience at Oak Hill. My door is
always open!
Sincerely,
Holly DeVore, Principal

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.
We have heard that several of you
missed the deadline for our Original Works fundraiser? We
have been able to have Original Works reopen the Gallery for your
ordering convenience until Monday, April 30th, 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!! Questions? Lost your student letter?

Fairfax County Public Schools believes that developing
responsible and productive digital citizens is an essential life skill and that
it can reach its highest potential when our school staff and the community work
in partnership. To that end, we would like to ask our parent partners to
remind students of some very important tips regarding their school email.
- Students’ fcpsschools.net email should be used for
school related activities only. It is not to be used for personal
communication.
- If a student receives an email from someone they do not
recognize they should not open it, but ask their teacher for guidance.
- If an email looks or sounds inappropriate or non-school
related, tell a teacher immediately.
- Students should NEVER reply to an email from someone they do
not know; they should ask their teacher for guidance.
We believe a consistent message from both school and home
will help our students internalize these important digital safety tips.
