Veterans Day is coming, and WOES would like to honor our veterans and active-duty military members with our annual breakfast. This year the breakfast will be on Nov. 10th at 7:45. Please use the link below to let us know if you are able to attend. In addition, we would love to include a picture of your veteran or active-duty military member in a slideshow.
Photos can be submitted through the included link. If you are a veteran or on active duty, please join us for some music, food, and camaraderie at our annual Veterans Day Breakfast! We are afraid that due to space constraints, we ask that only the veteran or active duty service member attend with their student. RSVPs and photo submissions are both due by 11/3/22.

The FCPS CARES Program is an opportunity for parents, staff, and community members to recognize FCPS employees for going above and beyond to help others and show they care. We invite you to submit your story so we can all acknowledge the good work of FCPS employees at White Oaks.
Return Your Federal Impact Aid Survey
FCPS is asking all families to fill out a Federal Impact Aid Survey. The form is available online in SIS ParentVUE. If you have not already filled out the form online, we will provide paper forms in Friday Folder today. Please be sure to return paper forms by Friday, November 17. The electronic form will continue to be available in SIS ParentVUE.
Completing this form for each school-aged child in every household is important, because information from this survey results in an additional $3 million in grants each year from the U.S. Department of Education. These funds are used to support all Fairfax County public schools and centers.
Please watch this video and visit the Federal Impact Aid Survey page for more information.

Successfully Completing Algebra 1 by Eighth Grade
Helping students to complete Algebra 1 by eighth grade is part of our Strategic Plan (Goal 3: Academic Growth and Excellence). Algebra Access Network Improvement Community (AANIC) is working to increase the diverse representation of students who take advanced math classes and succeed in them. This video shares more about the AANIC cohorts at Kilmer and Key middle schools and lets students explain why Algebra matters to them.
Passing Algebra 1 earlier allows for students to take more advanced classes like Dual Enrollment courses, Advanced Placement (AP), and International Baccalaureate (IB) courses. These advanced courses help students succeed in college. A recent study from the Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA) found that completing Algebra 1 by grade eight led to 30% more ninth graders and 16% more 11th graders taking advanced courses.
