Dear Students and Parents,
We want to take this opportunity to thank you for all you have done to support the White Oaks community during the first week of school. Our goal is to ensure we support the staff and students at White Oaks Elementary School so that it is a great place to work and learn and our parents, guardians, and families clearly make a positive and significant impact in this pursuit. We also want to share our impressions as the current administrative team for your school. Students had a good week at White Oaks. We saw wonderful interactions between students and teachers and staff and we noticed how the teachers had thorough plans and exciting activities for the students from the very first day. There is a clear commitment to teamwork and we see staff, students and parents supporting each other. We have heard numerous times, "We are a family at White Oaks Elementary!" Our commitment is to continue to support the staff so they have what they need to provide for every child. We will continue to offer opportunities for our families to maintain strong connections with our school team and teachers.
The Eagle News will continue to be sent out weekly and will include important school news as well as messages from our PTA.
We look forward to seeing you soon. Please do not hesitate to contact us with questions or requests as we start the 24-25 school year.
Sincerely,
Ms. Klena, Interim Principal, jkklena@fcps.edu
Ms. Jimenez, Assistant Principal,kvjimenez@fcps.edu
Mr. Bergquist, Interim Assistant Principal, srbergquist@fcps.edu
