Following an administrative meeting this afternoon, it has been decided that ALL White Oak District campuses (high school, middle school, intermediate school, and primary school) will be closed Thursday, December 14th, and Friday, December 15th. This decision was made in the best interest and health considerations for our students, faculty, and staff members.

There will be NO outside activities of any kind (Boys and Girls Club, etc.). NO ONE will be allowed in the building during these four days.

We will return to school on Monday, December 18th, and we will follow the original schedule that has been set in place for next week. Our Christmas Parties will remain on the same days and at the same times.

I hope everyone gets a lot of rest this weekend and I look forward to seeing everyone back on Monday.
