Per Mr. Gray:

Parents and Guardians,

We have promised to always provide you the most up-to-date information. We are continuously looking for way to keep everyone’s health and safety a top priority. With that being said, it has been decided that parents should keep packets at home until further notice. This alleviates the need for parents to leave to have to leave their home in order to turn in their child’s work. Please hold on to any work your child completes as we will love to see all of it when we are back together again. We appreciate all of the support you are giving to continue the learning process of our students. You may still bring the Hospital Hero notes to the Primary Lobby and drop them off in the drop off box.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Prior to leaving for spring break, White Oak Primary completed our “World’s Finest Chocolate” fundraiser. We had plans to have the chocolate delivered and distributed to students the first week of April.  As we all know, all of our systems have changed or stopped due to the COVID 19 pandemic. We have paid for the chocolate and it is being held for us in a climate-controlled warehouse. The safety of our staff, students, and community is our top priority.  We cannot have the chocolate delivered from our distributor in Shreveport until restrictions have been lifted and it is safe for our employees and you to handle the shipments. You will get your products as soon as it is deemed safe to distribute and/or school has resumed. Thank you for understanding.  We apologize for any hardship this may cause.

Sincerely,

Claire Koonce

Parents and Guardians,

We greatly appreciate the work you are doing at home with our students.  Our teachers have worked really hard to supply work and resources by SeeSaw and through packets.  Our intent is not for this to be overwhelming to you. It is for the “continuity of the educational process.” Please do not feel as if your child must complete the paper packets and Seesaw work each week.  If you are able to access Seesaw and can do the work presented there, you do not have to have your child complete a paper packet. Please do what works for your family and your situation. There have been a few questions about grading.  Packets and Seesaw work that is completed at home will not be graded. We are asking for paper packets that are completed to be returned so that we can evaluate work done at home. The work done through Seesaw is being viewed frequently. Promotion and retention will not be based on the work done while our students are at home. If you have questions, please feel free to email me at [email protected] or Mrs. Bradley at [email protected].
