As part of White Oak ISD’s commitment to our district-wide initiative, “The Transformation of Classroom Instruction to a This Century Learner Experience,” the White Oak ISD Board of Trustees has approved a one to one program for the students of White Oak Middle School. What this means for your student in grades six through eight is that he or she will be assigned a new Chromebook for school use and at home throughout the year to help with the learning process. While there are many details still to be worked out before the devices can be distributed to students, we wanted to make parents aware of this exciting change in learning environment. We have a collaborative district and campus team working diligently on creating a successful implementation plan.  Our first parent meeting is scheduled for this Thursday evening, December 18, at 6:00 P.M. in our middle school library.  Our goal for this short, informative event  is to provide you with an overview of this initiative and answer pressing questions you might have.   If you cannot attend this meeting, we are scheduling other parent meetings in January, both during the day and after school.   After this introductory meeting, White Oak Middle School will then plan follow-up parent trainings where you will  bring your student’s device and learn a little about using it and what the management capabilities are.   We want everyone to fully understand what the devices are capable of in the learning process.  We want to thank the school board for their support in this measure and thank you for allowing us to serve your children in White Oak ISD.

Also, semester exams are scheduled for this Thursday and Friday, December 18 and 19. As in the past, White Oak Middle School will dismiss at 11:30 on both days.
