February is Black History Month

Black History Month

Black History Month, or National African American History Month, is an annual celebration of the accolades, achievements and successes of Black/African Americans. It also provides us a time to honor and recognize the central and significant role that African Americans have and continue to play in U.S. history.

Curriculum Review

Community Review of Elementary English Language Arts Basal Instructional Resources

Fairfax County Public Schools will adopt new Elementary School Language Arts Basal Instructional Resources for the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 school years.  A review committee composed of community members, administrators, and teachers will meet in February and March to review the instructional materials under consideration and community feedback.  Public review of the recommended materials is part of the process for selecting new resources.  .

Elementary English Language Arts basal instructional resources may be accessed in person and online January 31 through February 28, 2022.  Digital materials for public review and comment will be available at the following link: https://www.fcps.edu/node/36853.  Those reviewing instructional materials may complete an electronic comment sheet available at the following link: https://forms.gle/NyDax8N3NXQBp1mh8.  Hard copies of instructional materials will also be available in the lobby of Willow Oaks Administrative Center. 

Willow Oaks is open each business day from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and extended hours will be provided until 7:00 p.m. on the following days:  February 3, February 10, February 17, and February 24, 2022.  All community feedback will be shared with the review committee and with School Board members before the vote at the School Board regular meeting. 


2022-2023 Kindergarten Survey

We need your help in projecting the Kindergarten enrollment for the 2022-2023 school year. Virginia Law, section 22.1-254, requires that children who will reach their fifth birthday on or before September 30, 2022, must be enrolled in Kindergarten for the 2022-2023 school year unless the parent or guardian notifies the school in writing that they do not wish the child to attend school until the following year.

If you have a child who will be five years old on or before September 30, 2022, please complete the Survey of Preschool Children form and return it no later than February 11, 2022 to Katherine Dillard @kjdillard1@fcps.edu.  A hard copy of the form is coming home in your student's Wednesday folder.   If any of your neighbors have children who will be eligible for Kindergarten and do not currently have children attending Oak Hill, please share this information with them so that we may reach as many rising kindergarten families as possible.
