Dear White Oak Families, 

 

Our newsletter has important information each week for the remainder of the school year. Thank you for taking the time to read it!

 

Quick Notes/Reminders:

  • All library books are due to the Media Center by Friday, May 26 to allow time for inventory and collection of outstanding books. Students will also be receiving reminders of any overdue books. 

 

 


Carpool Reminders

 

As we approach the end of the school year, please be mindful of our procedures for a safe carpool drop-off & pickup.

  • Drive SLOWLY through the far end of the carpool loop and around curves where staff are walking. 
  • Be PATIENT & RESPECTFUL as students are loading & unloading. While we want our carpool lane to move as efficiently as possible, our priority is the safety of students and staff. 
  • During arrival & dismissal, use the full carpool lane instead of driving around the cones at the traffic circle. 

 

Please visit our website for more information about how to drop-off & pick up your child at White Oak. 

 

 


EOG Testing Dates Reminders

 

On testing dates, PLEASE plan accordingly so your child arrives at school by 9:15. Early check-outs will NOT be allowed before 1:00pm to ensure students have ample time to complete the test.

  • Wednesday, May 31 - Reading - 3rd, 4th & 5th grades
  • Thursday, June 1 - Math - 3rd, 4th & 5th grades
  • Friday, June 2 - Science - 5th grade

 

 


Medication Pick-Up

 

If your child has medication at school, please make sure you stop by the main office to pick it up by the last day - Friday, June 9. Medication cannot be sent home with students. Families will also receive a reminder letter.
