We had wonderful concerts this week with our 5th and 6th grade choirs. The students did very well and it was a joy to see them perform for their fellow students and parents and families. Thank you to Ms. Morgan-Elder and Ms. Gridneva for your dedication and work with our talented White Oaks Eagles.
We will monitor the weather for low temperatures, wind chill advisories and warnings, and weather advisories which may prevent children from being outside. Make sure your child is dressed appropriately with a warm coat and other cold-weather clothing, so they can comfortably enjoy their time outdoors. Feels like" 20°F or lower: Recess will be canceled. Feels like" 20°F to 25°F: Teams may choose to take students outside if they’ve communicated this policy in advance. Teams will also notify parents in their upcoming newsletter if they plan to take students outdoors..

This year, as in years past, FLE/HGD lessons will take place from December 16th-December 20th. An ENotify went out before the break inviting families to the Family Preview Night that took place on Tuesday, 12/3. All materials and lessons may be viewed on our Schoology page here. The county has transitioned to digital opt-outs via ParentVue. If you missed the opt-out and would not like your child to participate in one or more of the lessons for their grade level, please contact the office at 703-923-1400 or email Marti Lee at MLLee@fcps.edu.
Teachers will include a report of your child’s performance on our most recent unit assessment in the Friday Folder on 12/13 for Grades 1 through 6 and on 12/20 for kindergarten. This report includes each of the standards that were assessed and your child’s score on each standard. If you have questions, you may contact your child's teacher.
