From the Principal
Dear Families,
Welcome back, White Oaks Families! I hope you all had a wonderful first week of school and are ready for a year of learning, discovery and growth. I would like to thank our teachers and staff for all their hard work preparing for the arrival of their students and getting the year off to a great start. I want to recognize our custodians Jesus Muñoz and Fernando Jimenez for the outstanding job they have done to make sure White Oaks was ready for classes to begin. We are incredibly appreciative of their work on behalf of our students and staff. I would also like to thank our school secretary, Teresa Williams, for the remarkable job she has done to support our teachers, staff, parents and me! Kirsten Kell, our PTA President, has worked tirelessly to ensure that our parents and students have a fabulous year ahead and a big thank you goes out to her as well. Finally, I would like to thank Angela Holloszy and her crew for taking time last week to beautify our campus. She was out there weeding and watering our gardens around campus before school started and made our campus look amazing for our families on Wednesday.

How to Order School Lunches
All families in SCSD may order lunches from our school lunch vendor, Choicelunch, using the ordering site LunchIsServed. Please go to the LunchIsServed site https://order.lunchisserved.com/ to set up your account and place orders. Even if you don’t plan on ordering lunch for your child(ren) right away, it’s best to have an account registered for every child in case they ever forget a lunch or need an extra lunch for any reason. For more information or to apply for Free or Reduced Price lunches, please visit the SCSD website.
