BUFF DADS PROGRAM
BUFF Dads is a program designed for elementary and secondary school campuses to provide positive male role models for the students at Lone Oak ISD. The presence of these "BUFF Dads" will have the following benefits on the students they interact with:
- They will act as a positive role model.
- The additional adult presence will aide in reducing negative behavior.
- They will provide enhanced school safety and security by being an additional set of eyes and ears watching over the students.
- Their presence and time investment will demonstrate to the students that their safety and their education are a valued and essential part of our community.
- These father figures will gain a greater awareness of the challenges that students face daily. As a result, they can learn to relate to and support their students to build deeper connections.
Father figures and male role models are extremely important in the early child development years as children grow. Sadly, as society changes, single-family households have increased, leaving many kids without a positive male role model in their everyday life. As a BUFF Dad, Lone Oak ISD will bring that back to every child in our elementary and middle school with the help of great father-figure volunteers.
Car Tag Information/Car Line Information
Car tags are available for new families in the office. One tag per family. Returning families may use their one from last year. If you need to purchase an additional tag they are $5 each.
Reminder: For your child's safety, if you do not have a car tag, you will be asked to come to the office to sign your child out. Please have a photo ID available.
Car Line- Contracted end time for staff is 4:30pm. If you are in the car line at 4:30, your child's name will be called. If you pull into the car line any time after 4:30 you will be asked to pull around to the front of the school to get your child.
***Students cannot be picked up or signed out by anyone who is not listed on the Parent Portal.
Please remember our no change policy for transportation. We want students to experience consistency each day.
For Safety...
Students are not allowed to get off at other campuses without administrator approval.
As we begin the 2023-2024 school year, all LOISD schools will continue to keep campuses closed during lunch times. We love that we live in a community with parents and family members who are so involved with their students. However, safety is always our number one focus, and space is quickly becoming a concern as well with the growth that our district is experiencing. For this reason, we ask for your help in keeping our kids safe, and keeping the number of visitors in and out of our doors to a minimum. We will continue to have "picnic on the playground" for each grade level this year!
Lunches for the 2023-2024 school year will be $3.25
- Regular lunches will be $3.25, and those that need a larger portion have the option to order an adult portion for $5.00.
- Please put lunch money in an envelope or baggie with student and teacher name.
Social Media
At Lone Oak Independent School District we are dedicated to telling "our story". We need your help! If you have something positive to share on social media about our campus, we would appreciate it! If you have a concern, please call Me/Mrs. Whitehead directly. We want our campus to shine and be celebrated in a positive manner!
