Greetings Shields Families!
April 10-No School for Students and Staff
School Closure Extended
Meal Distribution Change
Starting Thursday, April 2, meal distribution days will change to limit exposure of both families and those preparing and distributing the meals. Red Oak ISD will hand out meals on Mondays and Thursdays following USDA guidelines to cover the other days. We will be closed starting this Friday, so please make plans to pick up your meals Thursday and then again on Monday
- Mondays – 10:30 a.m. to noon
(Lunches for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday; Breakfasts for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) - Thursday – 10:30 a.m. to noon
(Lunches for Thursday, Friday; Breakfasts for Friday, Monday) - Locations: Eastridge ES, Schupmann ES, Red Oak MS
If you have children 18 and under in the vehicle, they will continue to receive a meal without any documentation necessary.
If students/children are not with you…
Red Oak ISD Students
Red Oak ISD sent a document by email to each currently enrolled student which will serve as your verification at meal distribution WITHOUT your student(s). Please print out the email which includes the student’s name, ID #, and campus and be prepared to show it at the pick-up site.
Non-Red Oak ISD Children
If your child is under 18, but NOT a ROISD student and not in the vehicle, you may bring alternate verification to the meal distribution site. Please bring ONE of the following documents for verification:
- Birth certificate for each child – OR
- Report card from the school for each child – OR
- Attendance record from the school that includes the children’s names
For all children 18 and under, either in the vehicle or verified, you will receive breakfasts and lunches. You are reminded you may visit ONLY one meal distribution site per day.
Expectations for this week
- Parent logs were sent via email on Thursday, April 2nd. A link for the log, along with information about how to complete it and when to turn it in, is also provided below. You do not need to fill out the attendance sheets in Google Classroom anymore. The parent log takes the place of the attendance sheets.
- Our main platform will be Google Classroom. Click on the weekly learning opportunities link below regarding how to access.
- Our teachers are expected to make daily contact with every homeroom student/family. This may be via email, Class Dojo, phone, or Google Classroom.
- All lessons are set up for the week, not by the day! We have provided a variety of optional instructional activities and resources. Click on the weekly learning opportunities link below for the weekly plan.
- Nothing is required to be returned at this time! If you have a question about anything, please reach out to your child's teacher. Remember, we are here to serve!
- If you have questions, email your child's teacher and include how to reach you.
Please know we are on this journey with you. Don't hesitate to let us help focus your child''s learning. We understand many of you are juggling your child's instruction with your own work. Your child's teacher will partner with you on prioritizing and working through a plan.
Packets
We are continually working to promote the health and safety of all students, parents, staff, and community while providing at-home instruction to our students. To minimize the risk of exposure, we are no longer doing hand-to-hand packet pickups at our campuses. Instead, we will begin emailing at-home instructional activities for those who are unable to access the online/virtual learning curriculum. For more information, please click the curriculum packet change button below.
