Library Books Due
It’s time to check around the house, in cars, under beds, in lockers, and in backpacks to find misplaced and overdue library books. All library books are due back this Friday, May 27. Seniors’ library books were due last Friday and should be returned immediately. There are currently 850 books still checked out! Please help get library books back in so replacement copies are not purchased unnecessarily.
Books can be returned at any of our book drop locations at the school. There is a book return slot outside of the main library entrance as well as a book return slot inside the library at the circulation desk. There is also a book drop outside of the school, by the main entry at Door 1, which can be used any time of day, including after school hours and weekends.
Students can check their FCPS gmail account for an email about which books they have checked out.
Immunization Requirement – Rising 12th Graders
There was a new immunization requirement for rising 12th graders for this school year that we want to ensure all rising 12th grade families are aware. Effective July 1, 2021, all students entering twelfth grade are required to receive one dose of Meningococcal vaccine (MenACWY) administered at age 16 or older, and prior to the beginning of school. Twelfth grade students cannot begin school in August without proper Meningococcal documentation.
Please provide one of the following documents to Oakton High School as soon as possible:
- An updated immunization record showing that the student has received the Meningococcal vaccine at age 16 or older.
- A note on a healthcare provider’s letterhead stating the date the Meningococcal vaccine was given at age 16 or older.
- A healthcare provider’s written statement of a permanent or temporary medical exemption.
- A notarized Religious Exemption Form which is available online at: http://www.doe.virginia.gov/support/health_medical/certificate_religious_exemption.pdf
Immunizations are available from your student's healthcare provider or the Fairfax County Health Department. The Health Department clinic locations and hours are available online or by calling 703-246-2411.
The needed documentation can be provided to the school in one of the following ways:
- Scanned and emailed to the school at OaktonHSOffice@fcps.edu
- Mailed to the school, Attn: Jill Hendelman
- Dropped off in the Main Office, Attn: Jill Hendelman
Please contact Jill Hendelman at 703-319-2810 if you have any questions.
