Principals' Message
Hello White Oaks Community,
This week, we officially welcomed our rising kindergarteners at the 2026–2027 Orientation! It was truly wonderful to see so many bright, smiling faces and feel the collective excitement in the room. Our newest students are ready to begin their educational journey, and we are absolutely thrilled to welcome them into the Eagle family.
We were treated to several spectacular string concerts this week! A huge thank you to Mr. Johnson-Stawarz and Mr. Bixler for inspiring our students to embrace the arts and share their incredible talents. The performances were an absolute joy for students, staff, and parents alike.
Wednesday marked our final 3-hour early release of the school year. We deeply appreciate everyone's patience and ongoing support with these schedules. This dedicated time gives our fabulous teachers the vital opportunity to collaborate and plan, ensuring a strong and successful finish to the school year!
Have a great weekend!
Melanie, Neena, & Josh
Proud Principals

New Cellphone Policy Starts July 1
On Thursday, May 7, the Fairfax County School Board approved changes to the FCPS Student Rights and Responsibilities (SR&R). The approved changes include updated guidance for cellphone possession and use, to align the FCPS cellphone policy with Senate Bill 108. This new Virginia law goes into effect on July 1 and states that all schools in the Commonwealth must follow a “bell-to-bell” phone-free policy.
This means that starting July 1, 2026, across all grade levels at FCPS, student cellphones, phone accessories, and all smart devices (including watches that serve a dual purpose, such as smart watches, as well as earbuds, headsets, smart glasses, and other other items connected to the internet) must be off and personally stored (i.e., put away in backpacks) for the duration of the school day — thus, no cellphones from bell to bell.
Finish the School Year With Strong Attendance!
As we enter the final weeks of the school year, Fairfax County Public Schools appreciates your continued partnership in supporting your child’s success. Regular attendance plays an important role in helping students stay engaged in learning, maintain connections with their teachers and peers, and finish the school year strong.
Attending school consistently also helps students build valuable habits such as responsibility, perseverance, and daily routines that support success both in and out of the classroom.
If your child needs to miss school, please remember to report the absence. Full-day absences can be reported in ParentVUE. Families may also report absences by calling the school attendance line or emailing the school-designated attendance address.
If your child is experiencing challenges that are affecting attendance, we are here to help. Please contact your child’s school so staff can partner with you to provide support and resources. Learn more about attendance resources.
