Show Your Red Oak Hawk Pride!
 As Dr. Goddard says, "It is time to step up and show our Red Oak Hawk Pride!" So this year...
- Students are allowed to wear maroon, white, or grey spirit shirts any day of the week with standardized approved pants/shorts.
- Uniform Polos are still allowed but spirit shirts are another option.
- Spirit shirt designs must feature maroon, white, or grey colors and include either school name, district name, district logo, or feature the word Hawks or the Hawk mascot.
Remember that every Friday is a jeans and spirit shirt day for ALL students and staff!
Please visit the Standardized Dress Policy site for more information about dress code updates for 2017-2018.
