Cookie Dough Fundraiser
The Annual Cookie Dough Fundraiser Kick-Off will begin today. Students were addressed by the Cookie Dough sponsor and the campaign to sell the most cookie dough is on! Packets will be sent home with each student, and we hope that everyone participates. Great prizes are awarded to the students who sell 15 items. Join in the fun and sell, sell, sell, the yummy Cookie Dough!
What is Respect?
Respect Song Remix Lyrics
Respect Yourself by working hard and doing what’s right
Being honest with yourself and telling the truth
Respect Yourself, Respect Others, Respect the School
That is just what we do
Respecting Others by taking turns and sharing our things
Treating others with love and all together we sing
Respect Yourself, Respect Others, Respect the School
That is just what we do
Respect the School by cleaning up and walking in a straight line
Staying quiet in the hall and handing work in on time
Respect Yourself, Respect Others, Respect the School
That is just what we do
Easter Party
Our fifth grade Easter party is this Thursday, April 21, from 1:00 until 2:00. Please remember to bring 1 dozen plastic eggs filled with goodies as well as an egg carton with your name on it. We are looking forward to a fun-filled afternoon!
Spring Break
White Oak Students and Staff will enjoy Spring Break from March 14th through March 18th. Be careful and have lots of fun.
Spring Pictures-March 9th
NO PACKETS WILL COME HOME.
All students will have their picture made on Wednesday, March 9th.
Each student will later receive a proof that will go home for consideration. At that time parents will complete the order form and return it with payment for any desired purchases.
Purchase is not required in order to have the student’s picture made.
Come wearing your best 
3D pop-up books
Our fifth graders will soon be creating a 3D pop-up book with their own story. How exciting for them.
TAKS testing begins…
Ready, Set, Write! That is what will take place on Tuesday, March 1st. Our 4th Grade will be taking the TAKS Writing test. This is an important day for these 9 and 10 year olds, and we need to show them that we are in full support of their efforts.
Please remember that because of test security, there will be NO VISITORS allowed in the building for any of the intermediate grades – 3rd, 4th, or 5th. Also, all intermediate students need to plan to either eat in the cafeteria or bring a lunch from home that morning as NO FOOD may be brought in from outside on TAKS testing dates.
Our students and teachers are the best, and we cannot wait for the scores to show just that.
Good Luck, 4th Grade!
TAKS Practice

5th graders will be taking practice TAKS tests this week. Wednesday, February 16th, will be math and Friday, Februray 18th, will be reading.

Attendance and promptness are very important on these days. If appointments are scheduled on either of these two testing days, we ask that you please reschedule.
