 Students exploring classifying animals through blended learning centers.
SOL testing started this week. Please help
your child to perform their best by ensuring they get a good night’s rest and
eat a healthy breakfast.
During testing, students will not be permitted
to have access to any device (other than their testing laptop) that has
internet access. Please consider keeping phones, watches, readers, or any
other internet capable device at home on your child’s testing day. Any
devices that students bring to class will be collected by the teachers for the
duration of the test.

If you have already provided Oak
Hill ES with proof of your child receiving the Tdap immunization, thank
you. We have 90 more students that need to submit their Tdap information
by June 8, 2018. Sixth grade students will not be allowed to begin school
on August 28, 2018 without submitting proper documentation.
TDAP
REQUIREMENT FOR 5TH GRADE STUDENTS: Virginia Law requires
that all students entering sixth grade receive a booster dose of the Tdap vaccine prior to
the beginning of school. The Tdap vaccine protects against tetanus (lockjaw),
diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough) and is usually given around the age
of 11, although it can be given as early as seven years of age.
In
order for your child to begin 6th grade
you will need to submit one of the following documents before the first day of
school. It is recommended that all paperwork is submitted to the school
office by June 8, 2018.
Acceptable
documentation can be one of the following:
- A
copy of your child’s immunization record showing the Tdap vaccine.
- A
note on a healthcare provider’s letterhead stating the date the Tdap
vaccine was given.
- A healthcare provider’s written statement of a permanent or
temporary medical exemption.
-
A
notarized Religious Exemption Form which is available online at: http://www.doe.virginia.gov/support/health_medical/certificate_religious_exemption.pdf
The
Tdap booster is available from your child’s healthcare provider or The Fairfax
County Health Department. The Health Department Clinic Locations and hours are
available online at: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/hd/hdclinicsite.htm, or by calling
703-246-2411. Please note that students receiving immunizations at the Health
Department must be accompanied by an adult, and should bring their immunization
records with them.
For questions regarding
immunization documentation, please contact Vicki Baron, the school student
information assistant, 703-467-3500.
We have an abundance of jackets that are left at school each day. Please have your son or daughter check to ensure they claim their missing items. Any items not picked
up by Friday, May 18th will be donated to charity.
 Former Oak Hill students getting ready to talk about
college on WOAK.
In addition to celebrating College Day, we have been
conducting guidance lessons designed to help students understand what career
options are available to them based on their strengths and interest levels.
Children like to imagine what life will be like as an adult and often times
think of themselves in glamorous or exciting careers, such as professional
athletes or rock stars. By exploring and investigating a variety of careers,
you can help your child understand there are lots of interesting and rewarding
careers to choose from. Check out this website to learn more about careers: www.vacareerview.org.
