White Oak Middle School

Happy October Warrior Nation,

As we end the 1st 9 Weeks of the 2023-2024 school year and head into Fall Break after this Friday's PICTURE DAY, I want to commend our Warriors on truly rising to the occasion of succeeding in the classroom. We have been complimented by many district guests on the behavioral and instructional improvements made. We appreciate your partnership and encourage your child to plug into all the things going at White Oak Middle School. We truly have a vibe going of "The Warrior Way!" Please see below for all the fun dress up themes coming soon!

I encourage you to set weekly goals with your Warrior about grades. We have a daily 6th period Advisory class where they work on ZAPing (Zeroes are Not Permitted.) Tutoring is offered daily, according to the schedule below, if your child is absent or needs additional help. Empower your Warrior and yourself by setting up notifications in Skyward to ensure your child is passing.

Thank you for you support. Happy Fall Break October 7-11.

Warriors RISE UP!

NCISD believes that attendance is a key factor to student achievement. Please be sure to review the NCISD Attendance Policy at https://www.newcaneyisd.org/families/attendance. If your child is absent from school, please be sure to send in either a doctor's note, handwritten note or complete the online form on the link above under "Attendance Notes/Absence Reporting."

Students need to make sure their ride picks them up within 15 minutes of the game ending. If they are not picked up in a timely manner, it could result in being banned from the rest of the season's games.

Please reiterate to your Warriors that anything they type, search or do on their chromebook that is inappropriate sends us the Lightspeed alert. This happens both at school and at home. Consequences will be followed by the code of conduct.

Please make sure your Warriors arrive to class on time. Daily tardy sweeps do occur. Every minute counts!

Continued random searches will occur upon entry as a safety measure as outlined in the student conduct of conduct.

Vaping continues to be a challenge for all schools in the region and state. Changes in legislation last year require a MANDATORY DAEP PLACEMENT if a student:

Sells, gives, or delivers to another person or possesses or uses an e-cigarette or similar vape device per our NCISD code of conduct.

We ask you have conversations with your student about vaping and the subsequent disciplinary actions that will result if a student uses

or is in possession of a vape while on school grounds.

Please send an email NO LATER than 2:00 PM if you need a message passed to your Warrior or change of transportation. We only accept changes of transportation via email. Please email: WOMSparents@newcaneyisd.org

You will receive a confirmation reply if received. If a message or change is sent from a parent after 2:00 PM, the message will not be delivered to your Warrior.

Proud to be part of New Caney ISD
