Please join us on Saturday October 7th at our Owl Team Fundraiser. We have a great opportunity to raise money for Oakwood's 5th Grade Dual Language Team. On Saturday, October 7th, we will be monitoring and accepting donations in both Oakwood parking lots prior to the A&M football game. If you would like to volunteer, please email Sra. Forsyth at nforsyth@csisd.org to sign up.
We are excited about this fundraiser and look forward to working with our students, parents, and PTO volunteers!
HAC (Home Access Center for grades)
Please be sure to check out the HAC system. This system is designed for parents and students to keep a close eye on grades at any point. If you notice that their is a blank (missing grade), please understand that the grade as NOT been entered yet. This DOES NOT mean there is a zero for that grade. If a student has earned a zero, a "0" will be entered next to the assignment's name. A zero will be removed when the student completes the assignment and the teacher has taken time to grade/enter the grade on the computer.
