Dear Hawk Family,

As we are starting to feel the cool breeze settle in and fall being in full swing, it is important that we stay aware of what's going on around us and use caution while driving in and around schools. This is the time of year where we haven't switched back to standard time, it's darker in the early morning and the sun is often blinding at certain times when we are driving. Please, please, please be extra careful during this time. We have students who walk to school, are in the crosswalks and waiting at bus stops. Each and every one of our students are precious. We don't want anything to occur that could be avoided with a little extra caution.

As always, be aware of our police who direct traffic, our staff who open car doors and even the guy in a tie and Mickey Mouse hands that may be out there �� .

Remember no cellphones, texting or distractions while driving. We love all our Hawks too much to do so!

Go Hawks!

Dr. Mike Goddard, Superintendent

Red Oak Independent School District

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.
