News from the Wolf Pack

Hello Wolf Pack! 

What an amazing first few days it has been at Oak Hill! Our students and staff have spent the first days reconnecting, building relationships, learning routines, and creating a strong foundation for a successful year. We are so glad the Wolf Pack is back together, ready to learn and grow this school year. Thank you to our families for your partnership, patience, and support as we begin this exciting journey together. 

On September 25th, we are doing an in-school run-a-thon that encourages students to stay active while raising money to support Oak Hill Elementary School. All students will be able to participate in a fun run during the school day, promoting school spirit, healthy habits, and community involvement. Check out more inform in the PTA section below!

We look forward to welcoming you at Back to School Night on September 9th.

In Partnership, 

Kelly Durso, Principal

Shelia Sobeski, Assistant Principal


Oak Hill ES Back To School Night

Back to School Night is September 9th.  We will have two identical sessions.

Session 1:  6:00 p.m. to 6:40 p.m.

Session 2:  6:45 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

More detailed information will be available soon.


Student ID Cards for the Bus 

FCPS is launching a new bus navigation system, which includes student ID cards for students who ride the bus. Students will use the cards to tap on and off the bus, helping FCPS and families know exactly which students are riding which buses.  

Learn more about the new system and how it will improve route efficiency, safety, and transparency with families. Check out the frequently asked questions for families.

ID Cards were distributed to Oak Hill students on Monday.  Cards were only distributed to students who had bus transportation indicated in SIS on Friday, the 21st.  If your child is a bus rider and has not received a card, please email keandersen@fcps.edu.  Please note that we were not sent bus IDs for students that were registered after July 2nd, so we will issue those to students as soon as we get them.
