Principals' Message
Hello White Oaks Community,
Another positive week filled with positive activities is concluding at White Oaks! It is a joy to reflect on the energy and dedication that define our school.
The book fair has been a wonderful success thanks to the tireless efforts of Mrs. Darling and Mrs. Phillips. Their organization and passion for literacy have inspired our students and provided them with some wonderful new resources. We are also incredibly proud of the Purple Up Breakfast. It was an amazing and wonderful celebration of our military connected students and their families. As always, the PTA did a fabulous job making this event special, ensuring our military families feel the deep appreciation they deserve.
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.
Support Your Children During Important Spring Assessments
Students will be participating in spring assessments based on their grade level and courses. This includes summative assessments like Standards of Learning (SOL) tests, which measure what a student knows, and progress assessments like Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) tests, which measure where they are in their learning.
FCPS encourages all families to support their students in taking these tests. Virginia requires schools to test at least 95% of students on SOLs, so when families choose not to participate in testing, it can impact a school’s accreditation, accountability ratings, and ability to measure student progress accurately.
Parents and caregivers can help their children perform their best on these tests by reminding them to get a good night’s sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and the cell phone policy still applies during testing season.
It is important that students attend school on scheduled testing dates. If you are aware of a conflict that may cause your student to miss a test, please notify your student’s school as soon as possible.
Learn more about how to support your child and why test participation matters.

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.

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
