Red Oak ISD Family and Friends,
 I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am about the upcoming school year. We are ready to SOAR to New Heights. At Red Oak ISD we measure our success not by a score on a test on one day during the school year, but on the ability to grow and mold the lives of those in our influence. Our ultimate measure is what we can do for the complete student. While we absolutely strive for each and every student to ultimately walk that stage with the right amount of credits and a high grade point, that isn't our true measure.
Our measure is whether or not we are building young men and young women to become incredible citizens for our community. It is what we call the Red Oak ISD Graduate Profile.
Red Oak ISD Graduate Profile
The 4 Talons of the Hawk:
*Academically Prepared
-1% better every day
- Love & Accountability
* Open to Challenges of Learning
-GRIT- Growth, Resilience, Integrity, Tenacity
*Fair, Respectful & Well Rounded
-REACH- Respect, Encourage, Appreciate, Communicate, Honor
*Leave a Legacy
- We before Me (Service)
You will see this through our district and modelled by our adults as we take the same four Talons and apply them in our Educator Profile. This is what truly makes Red Oak ISD so special. Building on our strengths, and becoming the best version we can become each and every day.
The 2017-18 School Year is going to be Awesome. We are so glad you are a Hawk and when we raise our Hawk Claw to show our pride, it means that we truly are Soaring High!
Dr. Mike Goddard, Superintendent
Red Oak Independent School District

Skylert Notification System
 Red Oak ISD uses a district-wide notification system called Skylert. Skylert allows Red Oak ISD the ability to send instant communication via phone, SMS text message, and e-mail to parents. We utilize this effective and efficient communication system as part of our continuous effort of keeping staff, students and parents informed and safe!
As a parent/guardian, this notification system allows you the opportunity to identify your notification preferences and opt in/out of specific message types through your
Skyward Family Access account.
Changes to your contact information can be done via Skyward Family Access or by contacting your student's campus.

Notification of insurance for students
 Every year, Red Oak ISD provides an accident policy for
secondary coverage on students participating in UIL activities. Although under state law, school districts are not liable for accidents that occur in schools, it is a standard practice for districts to purchase supplemental insurance that provides limited coverage.
For parents seeking additional coverage, the school district is making available a voluntary student/athletic accident insurance plan. For more details, download the appropriate flyer.
