When you arrive at Oakton to pick up the materials please follow the designated traffic pattern to keep the flow moving.  OES material pick up map.pdf

The materials will be placed in the bus loop alphabetically and there will be a designated spot to return materials as you exit the loop.  There will be no staff outside during the pick-up and we expect the 6 foot social distancing protocols to be followed.  We ask that cars pull into the loop, pick-up the student materials, pull forward to the drop-off area to drop off any OES materials and exit safely. 

If the weather looks like it will rain, we may reschedule the impacted pick-up for the following week.

If you are unable to make your scheduled time slot please email Keith at kaeck@fcps.edu and to arrange an alternate time.  If you have any additional questions or concerns please let us know.  ​​​​​​​

Character Strength Focus: Perseverance

The concept of perseverance can most often be found in one’s active pursuit in overcoming obstacles. Perseverance is a uniquely human characteristic that identifies an individual’s ability to spend long periods of time devoted to a single goal or set of goals. Those who persevere are able to set goals for themselves and then take active, calculated steps toward those goals. People demonstrating high levels of perseverance are able to handle significant, sometimes repeated, setbacks in pursuit of goals.
