Principal's Message

Dear Parents,

It was great to see so many of you virtually this past week at our PTA meeting!  We are so appreciative of the work our PTA does to support students, families and staff. I hope that our new families and those returning will consider joining the Oak Hill PTA this year!  Click here to join!  I also saw many families along the Chantilly Homecoming Parade route last Friday.  It is so much fun to be apart of a tradition that brings our Chantilly Pyramid communities together. 

Finally, do you have a suggestion or question for Mrs. An or me?  We would love to hear from you, just click here!

PTA Teacher and Staff Hospitality

As we are starting to try and return to some sort of normalcy mental health is such a huge, needed focus for all of us. As our teachers work hard to make sure they are meeting the mental health needs of our children. We would also like to make sure their mental health needs are being met! The PTA is hoping to provide a small monthly treat for all the Oak Hill Staff to say thank you! Please look over the sign up and if you can help with this month's treat. Oak Hill PTA would greatly appreciate it and so will the staff! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0a4daca829a31-kindness
