White Oak Parents, Guardians and Staff,

Out of an abundance of caution due to the inclement weather and possible deteriorating road conditions tonight and early tomorrow, White Oak ISD will be closed Monday, January 11. We are making this determination now so that parents/guardians have an opportunity to make any needed arrangements. Coaches/sponsors of any extracurricular events scheduled for late afternoon Monday will contact those students individually. While these decisions are difficult, the safety of students and staff will always be the determining factor. We apologize for any inconvenience. Go Roughnecks!
