Important Information Regarding Work Packets

In the midst of developing events, we are requesting that parents keep work packets at home until further notice. This alleviates the need for parents to get out, drive to the school, and deposit them in the grade-level boxes. This will also minimize unnecessary contact outside the house. Thank you for understanding, and mostly thank you for assisting our campus in every effort to continue to provide educational opportunities for students.

Boxes for Returning Completed Work

Parents and Guardians,

If you are able, we would love for you to return any completed packet work to us. There are boxes on a table at the entrance of the Intermediate Campus where you can place your child(ren)’s completed packets. We appreciate all the time and effort you have spent with your child(ren) while we are schooling at home. Teachers are excited to see all of the hard work they have done. Please make sure that all completed work is labeled with your child(ren)’s name together with their homeroom teacher’s name. Thank you so much!

Updated Information on School Closure Dates

Covid-19 Update (March 31st)

White Oak Community,
Today, Tuesday, March 31st, Governor Abbott extended the school closure period for Texas school districts through May 4th. White Oak ISD will comply with this order. Tentatively students will return to school on Tuesday, May 5th. We will continue to follow future guidance from the Governor, CDC, T.E.A. ,County Judge etc. and will disseminate ASAP.
White Oak ISD will continue with the ‘continuity of education’ plan both hard-copy and online for as long as is practical (through the end of May as needed). We are attempting to balance the need of keeping our students engaged in the learning process and the logistical, real-life issues facing parents and guardians in our community.
White Oak class of 2020: Our heart is breaking for each of you and we understand that this is a difficult time. Please know that we are exploring every option that we can think of to try and give closure for y’all. At this point we are not sure if UIL activities can/will resume (currently shut down until May 4th) but we will update as we can. We WILL have some sort of graduation ceremony, although at this point we are not sure what that might look like….perhaps a virtual ceremony to begin with and an ‘actual’ ceremony at a later date. We want to give each of you your moment. We will update.
The lunch/breakfast program will continue uninterrupted.
Thank you for your continued support during these very challenging times. I know it is difficult for everyone. Please know that White Oak ISD is trying to make the best decisions we can that benefit our kiddos and community during these very fluid and changing times. Please stay safe, healthy and continue to follow CDC recommendations.
Go Roughnecks!

New learning packets available

Hello and happy Wednesday! As of today, March 25, new learning packets are available for pick up. These will be located outside our front door, just as last time. These are meant for the next two weeks. PLEASE don’t do all this at one time!

You are welcome to ask any questions about anything in these packets. There are new learning opportunities regarding math, so make sure you check my blog for help. Math pages are labeled to help you know which ones are considered priority! I’m also excited to see what everyone thinks about the project in there!

Remember, we’re all in this together. Do not let anyone feel overwhelmed or frustrated. Please communicate with us about anything! We love you all and we miss you all terribly! Mrs. Williams and I are looking forward to another ZOOM chat again! Thank you for all you do!
