It's been a busy and wonderful busy week!
On Tuesday, our littlest panthers celebrated the completion of their kindergarten year and our chorus and strings students performed to a large, enthusiastic crowd at Oakton High School. On Wednesday, 5th grade students shared their Portrait of a Graduate Presentations of Learning to parents. Today, students enjoyed field day games and Kona Ice! Also, we had a wonderful visit from former OES students who are graduating from Oakton HS and Madison HS.

End-of-Year Medication Disposal Guidelines
All medications currently in the health room must be picked up by parents—by June 12 at 2:00PM. For safety reasons, medicine cannot be sent home with children, nor kept by the school from one school year to the next. Medicine not picked up by parents will be discarded.
