Lunar New Year is one of the most important holidays among East and Southeast Asian cultures, including Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean communities, as well as many others.
It is a celebration of the arrival of spring and the beginning of a new year on the lunisolar calendar, which begins on Feb 10, 2024 this year. The number of celebration days with different names varies depending on the country. China’s Lunar New Year is known as the Spring Festival, or Chūnjié in Mandarin, while Koreans call it Seollal and Vietnamese, Tết.
Lunar New Year is a celebration of community. During this time, families gather to eat feasts and practice cultural traditions. Appropriate and welcomed greetings would be “Happy New Year!” or “Wishing you health and prosperity in the New Year.”
National School Counseling Week
February 5-9 is National School Counseling Week. Learn more about the role of school counselors in FCPS.
Thank you to Oak Hill's school counselors, Mr. Andy Mitchell and Mr. Greg Frantz, for all they do for our students and families.
🚍 Here Comes the Bus
Want to know if your child's bus is on schedule or where the bus is? Here Comes the Bus® is an easy-to-use website and app that enables parents to see the location of their child’s school bus — almost in real time — on a smartphone, tablet, or personal computer.
Parents can track multiple buses if their children don’t all ride the same bus; know exactly when children arrive at school or the bus stop; and receive customized text and/or email notifications about bus locations, schedule changes, or delays.
To get started, download the app from the Apple iOS or Android app store. Check out the Here Comes the Bus and Frequently Asked Questions webpages for more information.
Already using the Here Comes the Bus app? Send your feedback to HCTB@fcps.edu.
Note: eNotify text messaging will continue to be used for reporting bus delays and bus incidents.
If you have a child who will be five years old on or before September 30, 2024, please complete this form and return it to Oak Hill ES by March 15th. If any of your neighbors have children who will be eligible for Kindergarten, please share this information with them, as we are also trying to reach those Oak Hill neighborhood families who do not have children currently attending school.
Please email the completed form to Katherine Dillard, our registrar, at kjdillard1@fcps.edu.
