Warm Welcome

Oak View was delighted to welcome back our final group of students with the return of Grades 3-6 last week. Our hallways have more life and our teachers have renewed energy as they navigate our new concurrent instruction model. We are so appreciative of your support and patience with our return. We look forward to a wonderful last quarter and end of the school year.

NEW Tech Tip of the Week

Oak View will post Tech Tips here for families each week we have a new tip to share. 

  • Shut It Down!  Thanks for giving your computer a rest over Spring Break. Remember to power all the way down over break. Also make a note to start it again ahead of when you need it on Tuesday, April 6.
  • General Tech Tips: 
    • For best performance, laptops should be turned OFF daily.
    • To get help with an FCPS tech issue, complete the STUDENT Support Request.
    • Regularly (at least once a month)  Clearing the Chrome Computer Cache fixes many online issues.
    • If your child’s bookmarked BBCU link isn’t working,  go to the original email to click the link.  Can’t find that email? Contact the main office for assistance (OakViewElem.Attendance@fcps.edu or 703-764-7100).
  • Trouble with technology? Please complete the STUDENT Support Request. Please indicate your child’s homeroom teacher and a detailed description of the issue.  Our tech team will work as quickly as possible to help troubleshoot the issue. Thank you for patience and if you do not hear back within one business day, please email tlnewman@fcps.edu with the subject line: Technology Issue
