Dear Hawk Family,

November is here! It truly is one of my favorite times of the year. I'm the kind of guy that has already started playing the XM Radio Christmas station.

This is a great time for all of us to stop and be thankful for the many gifts we have been given.

Next week we will be kicking off the #Thankful4RO campaign, which will provide an opportunity to share with our thankfulness for others, for the programs we have for our students and staff, and for the all the other great things here in Red Oak ISD.

I am so thankful for how the Red Oak ISD community has welcomed my family and me and made us feel at home. I cannot wait to share with you the many ways I am thankful for our students and staff that I have the honor to serve every day and I cannot wait for you to share your #Thankful4RO with me.

Proud and honored to be a Hawk!!

Dr. Mike Goddard, Superintendent

Cash for My Class

Help your school earn money just by shopping at Brookshire's through the Cash for My Class campaign. Brookshire's will donate 1% of the purchase of qualifying products (their store brands) to your school.

Each campus has been enrolled in the campaign. Parents and staff present a tag (distributed by each campus) or ask the cashier to scan their school's card (at each register). The campaign runs through June 15, 2018.

Checks will be presented to your campus at the beginning of the 2018-2019 school year from the campaign.
