Principals' Message
Hello White Oaks Community,
Book Character Day was a fantastic way to wrap up the first quarter and celebrate our community’s love of reading! Our students brought incredible creativity to their costumes, and everyone had a wonderful time.
Reminder: Monday and Tuesday are both student holidays. We hope you and your family enjoy a restful Fall break and find time to connect and relax together.
Looking ahead, we are in the final stages of our plan to invite families into the school for our Thanksgiving Luncheon on Tuesday, November 17th, and Thursday, November 19th. Held alongside our Fall Book Fair, this will be a wonderful opportunity for family engagement and community connection. We are finalizing the full schedule and will share details soon. We hope to see you there!
Have a great weekend!
Melanie, Neena, & Josh
Proud Principals

Please complete it as soon as possible. Schools will provide paper forms to families who have not completed the survey in ParentVUE starting Wednesday, October 28.
