Fascinated! Our third graders learned from a Freshwater Ecologist from Fairfax County Stormwater Management today.


school counseling

National School Counseling Week highlights the tremendous impact school counselors have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career. 

School counselors work with students in a variety of different capacities, whether it is through classroom lessons, group sessions, or individual counseling. We are very fortunate to have fantastic school counselors at OES!  Thank you Mrs. Cahuantzi and Ms Jun for all you do for our students, staff, and families.

Kindergarten Registration 

It’s Kindergarten Registration Time!

Attending kindergarten provides children with an opportunity to learn and practice the essential social, emotional, problem-solving, and self-regulation skills they will use throughout their lives.

Register your child NOW for Kindergarten for 2025-2026!  Registering your child early helps schools prepare and ensure they have the teachers and resources on hand that they need on the first day of school. Children must turn 5 by September 30, 2025.

Families should prepare for registration by gathering documents and completing forms, details can be found on the FCPS kindergarten registration webpage. FCPS offers support and resources for all families to help with registration and the transition to kindergarten. For support in other languages, visit the kindergarten registration webpage.
