With our students starting back to school, we want to our parents to know how important you are to us. Here is a link to printable lunch box notes from the Happy Home Fairy (or planner/backpack notes). They miss you as much as you miss them during the day. Make the day special for them.

Pep rallies are typically held on Friday afternoons at 3:00 in the High School gym.  Pep rally procedures are as follows:

• If a student plans on attending the pep rally, the parent MUST send a note to the child’s teacher EACH WEEK.  Students will NO NOTE will stay in the classroom. Students will NOT be allowed to walk to the pep rally without an adult with them.
• Only students who have a note will be sent to the cafeteria at 2:30.
• The doors will remain locked until 2:30. Adults will enter through the Intermediate doors and sign their student out in the cafeteria.
• Students not picked up by 3:00 will be sent back to the classroom.
• Again, students must be accompanied by an adult to attend the pep rally.

In order to relieve the bottleneck of traffic at Roughneck Stadium Drive, the blacktop parking lot located behind the Middle School will be open for thru traffic only until 7:55 a.m. There will be no parking allowed in the lot, but cars can drive thru until 7:55 when the band begins practice. Thank you for working together to accommodate everyone’s needs.

White Oak Intermediate would like to ask parents to send in the free book codes found in specially marked packages at Walmart. Just put them in a ziplock bag and turn in at the intermediate office. We will enter the codes and order books for our intermediate classrooms. There are over 50 books on the Scholastic list that are available with these codes. Below are examples of some of the participating products. What an opportunity to put books into the hands of students!

Welcome back, students! Thank you, parents, for getting our students ready to learn.
