A message from Ms. Carter, Interim AP:
I've had a fabulous two weeks getting to know the staff, students, and community at Oak View. I was especially honored to be a part of the Veterans Day celebration that we had this week. I look forward to supporting the school during the remainder of my time here.

 Veterans Day Tribute
Wednesday, we celebrated Veterans Day and honored the brave men and women who have served our country. We were proud to recognize our very own military-connected students, staff, and families. A special thank you to our veterans for sharing their presence and inspiring us all.
Let's continue to show our gratitude to our veterans by learning more about their sacrifices and supporting our military-connected community.
 Oak View was honored at the School Board meeting on Thursday for earning the Purple Star Designation for being a military-friendly school.
Return Your Federal Impact Aid Survey - ALL Families
Oak View and FCPS is asking all families to fill out a Federal Impact Aid Survey. Any family that received a paper form should return it by Wednesday, December 4.
Completing this form for each school-aged child in every household is important. Information from this survey resulted in more than $4 million in funding last year from the U.S. Department of Education. These funds are used to support all Fairfax County public schools and centers.
For more information, please watch this video on Impact Aid and visit the Federal Impact Aid Survey page.

Tutoring Resources for Families
Is your family looking for resources to help support your child’s academic success? FCPS’ Family Resource Center (FRC) maintains a list of district employees who hold a valid Virginia teaching credential and who are available to be hired as a tutor by parents. FRC maintains this list, but families are responsible for contacting and working directly with tutors. This list is not “approved” by FCPS and is only meant as a resource.
FCPS also partners with Varsity Tutors to provide students and families with extra resources for learning. Every student can take advantage of Varsity Tutors' services at no cost, including weekly live online classes, on demand 24/7 chat tutoring, essay editing, study resources such as recorded content, practice problems, and diagnostic tests.
