Need to Know
On January 29, 2025 Smile Dentist will be coming to West Oak Campus. If your child is in need of a check up and dental cleaning, this service is available. Click HERE to register.
On January 31, 2025 West Oak Intermediate is holding a PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) Pack Pride Assembly for students, where we will celebrate positive behavior and recognize students who are making a difference! We will be highlighting our school-wide expectations, Wolf Pack Ways, of Be Responsible, Be Respectful, and Be Safe and showcasing examples of how students are putting them into action. The assembly will be a fun, engaging way to continue promoting a positive learning environment for everyone.
Lost and Found: We know how easily items can get misplaced at school! To help reunite belongings with their owners, the WOIS Student Council created THIS slideshow of all currently unclaimed items. If you recognize anything that belongs to your child and need support in retrieving the item, please reach out to their teacher.
Dress for the Weather: The cold weather has arrived! Please be sure to send your child to school dressed for the outdoors. Even on chilly days, we encourage outdoor play as long as the weather permits. We will have indoor recess if the real feel is less than 15 degrees.
January - Kindness: The month of January, D76 is focusing on the SparkleOn core value of Kindness. The week of January 27-January 31 will be a spirit week to celebrate kindness! See the flyers below for the themes for each day.

We have been steadily holding on to 2nd place, but I am confident with your votes, we can climb back to 1st place. Let’s cast our votes and give our girl a chance to sparkle at the top! 💎♥️👑🐾
