We want to thank our White Oaks teachers for hosting the Back to School Night sessions this week. As we walked the halls and greeted parents, we heard how much our families appreciate the work our teachers do. Thank you for sharing your gratitude. It makes a difference. We also appreciate the partnership between parents and staff at White Oaks. It is abundantly evident to your current administration that our school is greatly supported by parents and we are thankful.
We hope you all have a good weekend.
Ms. Klena, Ms. Jimenez, and Mr. Bergquist
As we begin the 5th week of school on Monday, we are sharing some reminders about arrival and dismissal.

No Pets on School Grounds: For our families who walk their students up to the school with a pet, please keep pets off the school grounds. This is a health notice and we also want to be sure all of our students can walk up to the entrances safely. |

Morning Drop Off: We are very proud of our White Oaks Eagles for making a smooth transition back to school. By now, our students in Kindergarten through 6th grade can walk to their classrooms and we want our parents and guardians to wave goodbye at the door. For the younger students, there are many adults to help when needed. |
The first dismissal on our early closing day is at 1:05. Only students whose parents notified us that they want them to go home early will be released at 1:05. Busses will run at 1:05. All other students will stay at White Oaks for supervised activities until regular dismissal time. At 4:05 we will have our busses as usual and students will be released to travel home as they usually do.

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.
