 From the Desk of Dr. Williams
Dear Woodley Hills Family,
As we welcome the beautiful sights of spring to our campus, I want to share a few exciting updates for the coming weeks. We recently had a wonderful time celebrating our incredible educators with a “Wicked Oz-Some” themed teacher appreciation week hosted by our amazing Woodley Hills PTA, and it was truly special to see our staff recognized in such a magical way.
Following that excitement, we look forward to seeing everyone’s bright smiles in our spring pictures on Friday, May 15. Please be sure to mark your calendars for this special day.
Looking ahead to the summer months, I am excited to announce that the Book It! program is officially returning from June 1 through August 31. This wonderful initiative encourages our students to keep their reading skills sharp during the break, and those who meet their monthly reading goals can earn a certificate for a free personal pan pizza. Please find the additional registration and goal-setting information included below so your child can get started on their reading journey. We are so proud of the hard work our Beavers are putting into their classes as we head toward the end of the year.
Dr. LaChelle R. Williams, Principal

FCPS Caters to Food Allergies
May is Food Allergy Awareness Month. The FCPS Office of Food and Nutrition Services (FNS) works to ensure every student has access to safe and nutritious school meals. Since 1 in 13 children in the U.S. has a food allergy, FNS works closely with families to provide reasonable meal accommodations for students whose medical needs affect what they can eat at school.
To support students appropriately and safely, families are asked to submit medical documentation to FNS from a U.S. licensed health care provider so we can tailor meals to each child’s needs.
Learn more about the documentation required and the steps to develop a safe menu for students.
Required Immunizations for Rising 7th and Rising 12th Graders
The following immunizations are required for students entering 7th and 12th grade each school year.
All students entering 7th grade are required to receive one dose of each of the following immunizations prior to the beginning of school: Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis booster (Tdap), Meningococcal vaccine (MenACWY), and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine.
- To meet the Tdap requirement, the vaccination must be administered at age 7 or older.
- To meet the MenACWY requirement, the vaccination must be administered at age 10 or older.
- To meet the HPV requirement, the vaccination should be given between the ages of 11 to 12 or as early as 9 years old.
- As a parent/guardian, you may decide that your child will not receive the HPV vaccination. The school does not require documentation if a parent/guardian elects for their student not to receive the HPV vaccination.
All students entering 12th grade are to receive two doses of the Meningococcal vaccine (MenACWY) prior to the beginning of school. To meet the MenACWY 12th grade requirement, one dose must be administered at age 16 or older.
Parents/guardians are encouraged to plan ahead by scheduling an appointment with your child’s health care provider now to avoid the rush this summer. Please consider getting your child’s immunizations early so that they can attend school in the fall. Summer is a busy time for families and health care providers. As long as your child meets the age requirements listed above, they can be immunized at any time.
Immunization Events for FCPS StudentsFCPS, in partnership with Inspire Health Alliance, will provide school-required immunizations and optional flu shots for all FCPS students at no out-of-pocket cost. Multiple events will take place at designated FCPS locations.
Dates will be made available throughout the school year. Parents/guardians may view upcoming events and schedule an appointment for their student. Participation is voluntary. Additional immunization resources are also available.
