The Virginia Council on the Educational Opportunity for Military Children voted on October 21, 2024 to approve White Oaks Elementary School as a recipient of the SY 2024-2025 Purple Star Award. The Purple Star Award is a recognition given to schools that demonstrate a commitment to supporting military-connected students and their families.  White Oaks Elementary School supports military families and help students navigate challenges when transitioning to a new school, provides professional development to staff, and holds events to honor military-connected students, families, and staff.   The point of contact at WOES, Kristen Pastino, supported growth, commitment and understanding to develop a welcoming culture.
