A Message from Mr. Symank
Thank you to everyone that attended our Annual Fall Fest. We had a great crowd, and everyone seemed to enjoy the night. It’s always fun to see the students and their families at these events.
Our 2nd 6 Weeks will be ending on Friday, November 8. Report cards will be sent out the following week. Please remember that you can schedule a parent conference with your child’s teacher by either emailing them directly or calling the front office.
On Friday, November 8, we will be having our Veteran’s Day Ceremony across the street at AMCMS in their gymnasium. We are very excited for our orchestra, band, and choir students to perform and would like to invite you to come and watch their performance. Please note that our space will be limited, and we will ensure that all our students have a place to sit prior to reserving a section for our guests. In addition, parents will need to check in the front office at Oakwood prior to attending the ceremony. Thank you in advance for your cooperation with this matter.
Our Thanksgiving Break will be from Monday, November 25 – Friday, November 29. If you will be traveling early, please let us know in advance with an email or letter. Your student will be responsible for all work that is missed while they are away. They will need to communicate with their teachers to ensure they have everything covered for their assignments.
With the colder weather, our lost and found has grown exponentially over the last week. It helps us to return things to their rightful owners when there is a name written on the inside. If you have not done so, please consider writing your child’s name somewhere on the inside of their jackets and sweatshirts.
As always, thank you so much for the opportunity to work with your amazing children. We’ve had a great year thus far, and are looking forward to the remainder of the fall semester.
* Daylight Savings Time is this Sunday, November 3. Be sure to roll back your clocks.

Oakwood Fall Pie Day!
Oakwood Family,
Our PTO Staff Appreciation Committee is gearing up for our annual Oakwood Pie Day. It is our hope that every teacher goes home for the Thanksgiving Holiday with a pie of their very own. We hope you will consider helping us with this delicious task! We will have volunteers standing outside in the carpool lane on Friday, November 22nd to collect your pies, or they can be dropped off at the front office that morning between 8am-9am. Pies can be store bought or homemade (preferably in disposable containers). Please label your pie, ex-Pecan, Pumpkin Cheesecake, Apple Streusel, etc.
Please view our sign up and help us to ensure each staff member can be included this year.

Oakwood's 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 from your team or PTO members in need of volunteers. Thanks to all who help out this fall!
