As we move into the last months of school, it is time for the Oak Hill Staff to start preparing for the 2023-2024 school year. Building a classroom of students is no easy task! We take many considerations into account such as heterogeneous groupings, balancing academic abilities, and how to maximize the support our resource teachers can provide students.
If you feel that there is pertinent information to support your child’s success for the upcoming school year, please complete this optional Parent Input Form by Monday, April 24th. This system is not intended for families to request specific teachers. Your child’s current teacher, specialists, and administrators collaborate to make well balanced classes where students can succeed. Oak Hill embraces collective responsibility and all of our staff are equipped to meet individual student needs.

Opioid overdoses are on the rise across the country, including in Fairfax County. Most fatal overdoses in Fairfax County in recent years involved fentanyl.
Last month, FCPS hosted a conversation on the dangers of fentanyl. During this impactful event, audience members heard testimonials from individuals affected by the opioid epidemic and learned facts from medical experts and law enforcement representatives. The conversation continues on Monday, April 24, 6:30 to 8 p.m., at Woodson High School.
