October 2018
A Message from Mr. Symank
Fall is officially upon us and we could not be enjoying the beautiful weather more. We wish we could spread the rain out a little, but we love the cooler temperatures. Our students have settled into their routines and everyone seems to be doing very well. A lot of great things are happening at Oakwood and we are thrilled to have your students with us this year.
Our first six weeks ended last Friday, and your students will be bringing home their first report cards for the year on Wednesday. Please be sure to ask for them when they arrive home on Wednesday Evening. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact their team and set up a parent conference. You can find the email addresses for our teachers here.
As a reminder, parents can access their students’ grades at any time during the six weeks. This can be done through the Home Access Center or HAC. Click here for more information.
We are very excited about our Fall Festival that will be held on Thursday, October 25 from 5:30PM – 7:30PM. Our teachers are already preparing for this fantastic event and we really hope to see everyone there. We will have several new activities and the dunking booth will be back as well. This is also a perfect opportunity to attend our book fair. We will also be celebrating Oakwood’s 40th Birthday at this event. If you attended school at Oakwood and have pictures you would like to share for our OW History Display, please send me an email directly.
Game Day Parking at Oakwood has been a huge success. We hope that the Aggies continue to win so that we can take full advantage of our proximity to the stadium. All proceeds from GDP go directly to our PTO, and therefore, Oakwood Intermediate. Game Day Parking allows us the opportunity to forego any other fundraisers during the year, so please remind your friends and family to park at Oakwood on game day.
Please make two notes on your calendar. This Wednesday, October 3, will be Fall picture day. Next Monday, October 8, is a student holiday. Thank you again for the opportunity to work with your amazing children. We’re off to a great start and look forward to the month ahead.
Sincerely,
Josh Symank
Principal - Oakwood

Are you ready for some football?
Oakwood's most valued fundraising comes from TAMU Game Day parking. Please help spread the word that Oakwood offers safe and convenient parking just down George Bush Drive for a $20 donation. 100% of proceeds benefit the student group or department volunteering and the PTO. Please stay tuned from staff or PTO members in need of volunteers. Thanks to all who help out this fall!
Share our Facebook page with event details about each game. The page is called "TAMU Game Day Parking at Oakwood" or follow the link:
