General Information

Student Fasting Meal Kits

From February 18 to March 19, 2026, a Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) waiver allows students fasting during the school day to request take-home meal kits. These kits include a complete school breakfast and lunch to be eaten after the school day ends.

Important Meal Kit Information:

Kits are charged based on a student’s meal status (Free, Reduced, or Paid).
Students may claim one breakfast and one lunch kit per day.
Students who eat a meal at school during the day are not eligible for a take-home kit on the same day.
Kits are distributed at the end of the school day. Students must pick up their own kits; adults are not permitted to collect them.

Parents or guardians must submit a weekly request form via the FCPS FNS website by the deadlines:

February 11, 2026 for week of February 18, 2026
February 16, 2026 for the week of February 23, 2026
February 23, 2026 for the week of March 2, 2026
March 2, 2026 for the week of March 9, 2026
March 9, 2026 for the week of March 16, 2026

Forms must be submitted on time to receive meal kits for the following week.

End of Year Calendars

With the end of the first semester approaching, we have posted our end of year calendars on the Oakton website. This includes our final exam schedule. Please note there is one calendar for underclassmen and a second calendar for the Class of 2026.

Updated Class of 2026 Senior Letter

Friday, January 23 we sent out an updated senior letter. It can also be found here on the Oakton HS website.

Upcoming Student Experience Survey at Oakton High School

Our school will participate in the FCPS Student Experience Survey. This survey will gather important feedback from students about their school experiences to help FCPS make meaningful improvements.

All students in grades 6-12, except those who have opted out, will receive a link to the survey in their FCPS email on February 23. We will administer the survey during the school day between Monday, February 23, and Friday, March 6. Any student may take the survey at home, if they are unable to take the survey during the school day. You will receive a communication with details on how to preview the survey and opt your child out, if you choose. The electronic opt-out form can also be accessed at this link.

We believe it's important to hear from our students about what we're doing well and where we can improve. This work also aligns with the equity commitments in FCPS’ 2023-30 Strategic Plan, which include a focus on amplifying student voice and experiences as we work toward meeting plan goals.

Parent Pie Night for New/Transfer Families

Wednesday, February 11th from 7:00-8:00PM

Join the Oakton Student Ambassadors for a slice of pie as we share with you ESSENTIAL information about Oakton such as extracurricular activities, tutoring opportunities, and Parent Vue. Light refreshments will be served, and we’ll meet in the Cafeteria.
