Our teachers are preparing for the 2024 Back to School Night which will be on September 11th. Teachers will welcome parents and guardians into their classrooms to share information including the curriculum, classroom procedures, and opportunities to volunteer. The schedule for each grade level is listed below:
- Grades K through 2: 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM
- Grades 3 through 6: 7:15 - 8:15
During BTSN, you will learn more about fall conferences from the homeroom teachers. Our teachers will offer conferences to all parents. We have amazing teachers at White Oaks and we know our parents will be very happy to meet them next week.
In this bulletin, you will see several activities that will be happening at White Oaks Elementary School during BTSN. We thank our PTA for all the effort and dedication to our community.
We look forward to seeing you here at school next week. As always, you may direct your questions to the one of our administrators.
Ms. Klena, Interim Principal, jkklena@fcps.edu
Ms. Jimenez, Assistant Principal, kvjimenez@fcps.edu
Mr. Bergquist, Interim Assistant Principal, srbergquist@fcps.edu
On Monday, September 16th, students will be released at 1:05. Busses will run the normal routes. All parents were sent a new questionnaire from homeroom teachers this week. We are asking parents to complete the questionnaire so our teachers can track which students will stay at school to be supervised until 4:05. Please complete the questionnaire even if you filled in the survey from FCPS previously. Thank you for taking the time on this. We are taking extra steps to ensure we have a plan for every child.

All students in first and second grade take a cognitive ability test. If you feel that a test score does not reflect your student’s abilities, there is an option for a one-time retest option for either the Naglieri Nonverbal Abilities Test (NNAT) or the CogAT test. If you are new to the county and your student does not have a cognitive ability test on file, your child will be given one as well – you will be notified about that separately.
To request the one-time retest of either the CogAT or the NNAT, please contact Susan Lattuca at salattuca@fcps.edu by September 15, 2024.
