Once an Eagle, Always an Eagle! We had some very special visitors at Oak View this week! Woodson graduates came back to visit and walk through our hallways again. Our current students loved seeing them. We are so proud of these former Eagles, and we wish them the best of luck!

Summer Resources Help Students Stay Curious, Healthy, and Busy

The FCPS Summer Resource Guide has activities and tips on a variety of subjects and interests, from camps and activities to health and safety resources. 

Be sure to check back during the summer, as more resources may be added.

Learning Doesn’t Take a Vacation — and Neither Does Fun!

Summer is the perfect time to help your student explore new interests, reinforce concepts, and stay engaged! FCPS’ Summer Learning webpage offers ideas and strategies for families to keep students curious until August.

Student Device Collection

If your student requires a device this summer to access digital learning resources or to attend FCPS summer opportunities, please fill out this form to let us know.  Devices and chargers borrowed for the summer must be returned before August 1, 2026. We will contact you later this summer with drop-off dates and times.

Students that do not require a device this summer must return their FCPS device and charger to Oak View ES on or before June 10 (grades 4,6) and June 11 (grades 3,5).

If your student has lost their power cord/charger please use www.MySchoolBucks.com to purchase the correct power supply in the school store. Chargers that are not purchased through MySchoolBucks - including chargers purchased on Amazon - will not be accepted.   After making the purchase, please send the receipt to school with your student so we can credit your child with returning a power cord/charger. Please contact Becky Farris with any questions.

Health Room Medication Reminder

All medication stored in the Oak View health room must be picked up by 1:00 p.m. on the last day of school, Tuesday, June 17. Any medication remaining in the health room after dismissal will be destroyed in accordance with FCPS policy. Please note, medications must be picked up by a parent or guardian. Medication cannot be sent home with students.

If your child will attend an FCPS summer program, current medication authorization forms may be used for the summer session. However, parents/guardians must pick up the medication from Oak View on the last day of school and deliver both the medication and forms to the summer program site on the first day of attendance.
