Principals' Message
Hello White Oaks Community,
It has been a productive short week, and we are looking forward to returning to a full schedule next week. As we enter the fourth quarter, we will begin administering end-of-year assessments. These evaluations provide vital data that highlights the incredible progress our students have made this year.
Please find the SOL schedule for grades 3–6 below. We kindly ask that you avoid scheduling trips, appointments, or early dismissals on these dates. Our goal is to maintain a calm, focused environment to minimize stress for our students during testing. Thank you for your continued support and partnership.
On Wednesday, several of our talented students showcased their artwork to the Lake Braddock community at the Pyramid Art Show. A huge thank you to Mrs. Mosios and Ms. Ko for facilitating this wonderful opportunity. We truly have some incredible artistic talent at White Oaks!
Have a great weekend!
Melanie, Neena, & Josh

Elementary Early Release Wednesday Update for April
Tuesday, April 21, is now a teacher workday and staff development day because of a recently announced special election that will impact all FCPS schools.
Students will now have a traditional full day of instruction and be released at the regular dismissal time on April 22 and April 29, which were previously early release Wednesdays for elementary schools.
This adjustment allows our staff to still have dedicated time for planning, collaboration, and professional learning without reducing instructional time on other school days.
Read Dr. Reid’s letter to elementary parents for more details.
It’s Kindergarten Registration Time!
Please note that the White Oaks Kindergarten Orientation is being rescheduled for May 13th.
Kindergarten helps children learn and practice the social, emotional, problem-solving, and self-regulation skills they will use throughout their lives.
Fairfax County public schools typically conduct kindergarten registration events, including orientation, in the spring. Eligible children can be registered throughout the summer, but registering your child early helps schools prepare and ensure they have the teachers and resources needed on the first day of school.
If your child will attend our school, please gather necessary documents and complete registration forms as soon as possible.
FCPS offers support and resources for all families to help with registration and the transition to kindergarten. For support in other languages, please visit the FCPS Registration webpage.
