Principals' Message
Hello White Oaks Community,
We have officially wrapped up our first four weeks of school, and we could not be prouder of the hard work and enthusiasm our students are bringing every day. As shared earlier, our key focus this year is cultivating and celebrating KINDNESS, and our students have done a fantastic job kicking off this campaign!
Speaking of spotlighting kindness, if a White Oaks staff member has gone above and beyond for your student, please consider recognizing them through FCPS Cares. This wonderful program gives parents, families, and community members an easy way to honor staff for their dedication. We are so proud of our team and would love to see their efforts celebrated!
It was wonderful to see so many of families at our Back to School Nights this week. Here is the slide deck from the administration portion of the evening. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
Have a great weekend!
Melanie, Neena, & Josh
Proud Principals
