Dear Families,
As we look to close out the year 2022, Ms. Durso and I would like to wish you a wonderful and warm winter break. I hope your time away from school brings you closer to family and friends and that your children create more memories to store in their sweet, little heads. We hope to see many of you at our Strings and Band concert tonight at Franklin Middle School.
We look forward to Sliding into the New Year 2023 with a month of fun spirit days! Take a look below to see all the fun days we have in store!
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to further support your child's learning at Oak Hill! If you have questions or feedback for Mrs. Durso or myself, please fill out this google form.
Sincerely,
Holly DeVore, Principal
Winter break is December 19, 2022-January 2, 2023. The Oak Hill ES office will also be closed during Winter Break. We look forward to welcoming students back on Tuesday, January 3, 2023.

Every year, absences increase in the weeks before and after winter break. Give your child the gift of education and help build a habit of attendance. Visit our website for more attendance resources.
Mark your calendars! COVID diagnostic testing will be available for FCPS teachers, staff, and students at five locations across the county January 3-5 from 5 to 8 p.m. This testing is for those who are either experiencing COVID symptoms or have been exposed to someone diagnosed with COVID. Appointments are not required, but registration must be completed before testing. Visit the COVID Testing webpage for more information.

Beginning in late January 2023, FCPS will host a series of community forums as part of our strategic planning process. View the schedule on our Strategic Planning website. We will add more details as they become available.
Students who’ve used Tutor.com have provided positive feedback. Unless they’ve been opted out, students can access Tutor.com through Schoology. Every session is personalized to meet the needs of the student from remedial to advanced levels. Sessions focus on conceptual learning and critical thinking—not quick answers. Learn more at FCPS’ Tutor.com webpage.
