Team 103, "The Trucks", composed of 3 Oak Hill 4th grade students and one Navy ES 4th grade student, are advancing to the 2021 Cargo Connect VA-DC First Lego League Regional Championship. They received the Innovation project award for Division 1. Congratulations and best of luck at the championship!
Between December 6-10, millions of students all around the world will celebrate Computer Science Education Week by doing an Hour of Code at their school. It’s an opportunity for every child to learn how the technology around us works.
All Oak Hill ES all students will be participating in the Hour of Code event. The students will create their own apps or games with fun, interactive, hands-on activities, and students will learn computational thinking skills in an approachable way.
To celebrate the week, we hope your child will participate in the optional dress up days around some computer themes.
Monday-Code Character Day. Dress as one of the Code characters.
Tuesday--Neon Day. Shine a bright light on giving credit to our sources.
Wednesday--404 Error Day. Wear mis-matched clothes.
Thursday--Cybersecurity Day. Wear camouflage to stay hidden and protected.
Friday--Binary and RGB Day. Wear ones and zeroes, or red, blue, or green which are the primary colors in a computer screen.
Here is the Spirit Days flyer.
You can read more about the world-wide event at http://hourofcode.com.

We have been having some early birds arriving at school prior to 8:30 AM. Students should not arrive or be dropped off prior to 8:30 AM because no supervision is available at that time. Supervision is required before and after school on the school playground to ensure students are playing safely. Thank you for your cooperation. |
The construction fence has gone up around the site for the addition. We have had to make a few changes for Kiss and Ride students and walkers. Walkers who leave via Kinross Circle, as well as Kiss and Ride students, now exit from door 1 at the front of the school. Walkers who go home across the field to Stone Heather Drive or across the bridge at the back of the playground will continue to leave by door 4 (playground exit). After Christmas, there will be a slight change to the kiss and ride route. The entrance and exit to kiss and ride remain the same, but there will be a slight adjustment to the traffic flow. More information will be provided in the coming weeks.
