Principals' Message
Hello White Oaks Community,
It has been an excellent week of learning at White Oaks. Our students have returned to their routines beautifully, and it is a joy to see them growing together each day.
We also had a very productive PTA meeting this past Wednesday. These meetings offer a unique opportunity to get involved in school life and meet fellow parents. If you were unable to attend, please mark your calendars for our next session on Wednesday, March 11th, at 6:30 PM. We hope to see you there!
We are proud to announce the winners of this year's White Oaks Outstanding Awards! This year, we received a record-breaking 45 nominations from our staff and families, a powerful testament to the dedication that defines our school community.
Please join us in congratulating these exceptional individuals:
