Principals' Message
Hello White Oaks Community,
As we enter May, the final full month of the school year, it is hard to believe how quickly the time has flown! We had a fantastic turnout at our 6th Grade vs. Staff basketball game last Friday. Our staff was incredibly impressed by the talent and sportsmanship our students displayed on the court; it was a fun-filled evening and a fabulous fundraiser for the 6th-grade class.
This week, we began administering SOL assessments for students in grades 3 through 6. We are so proud of the way our students have approached these tests, showing remarkable effort and a focused mindset. These assessments will continue over the next two weeks as our students work to showcase all they have learned this year.
In addition to our work in the classroom, our Get2Green team traveled west to Elizabeth Furnace this week to release the Brook Trout they have been raising. As part of the "Trout in the Classroom" initiative, this program teaches students the importance of conservation through a hands-on look at the trout life cycle. It was a wonderful opportunity for our students to experience nature up close and personal.
Looking ahead, next week is Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week! At White Oaks, we are beyond fortunate to have a staff that is caring, hardworking, and deeply dedicated to student success. To celebrate their incredible impact, our administration team has designed a plan to share our appreciation every single week for the rest of the school year, perfectly complementing the wonderful activities our fabulous PTA already has in store! We are asking for the community’s support in this effort by providing items through our SignUp Genius. Through your generosity, we can ensure our staff feels the love and appreciation they deserve through the very last day of school. Thank you for your continued support of our White Oaks team!
Have a great weekend!
Melanie, Neena, & Josh
Proud Principals

It’s Kindergarten Registration Time!
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.

PTA President and Vice President of Fundraising Still Needed!
We still do not have a candidate for the President or Vice President of Fundraising positions for next school year. We cannot operate as a PTA without a President. I encourage you to think about the positions, encourage people you know who may excel in either position, and reach out with any questions, concerns, or hesitations you have. If you're thinking about either position, please let us know. You're welcome to join us for our meeting on Monday, April 20 so you can have a "sneak peek" into what those monthly meetings entail and how we collaborate together. For more information please email wopta.nominations@gmail.com
