September 2018
A Message from Mr. Symank
It’s official! We’re off and running with the 2018 - 2019 school year. We’ve had an amazing start to the year and have really enjoyed getting to know our new Wildcats and seeing how much our returning Wildcats have grown over the summer. It certainly seems like they grow up overnight sometimes.
This year we have right at 700 students on campus. We had a great turnout for our open house and our new format seemed to work well for everyone. We have taken some notes and will continue to adjust each year.
In October, we will have our Annual Fall Fest and at this event we will celebrate Oakwood’s 40th Birthday! Please be on the look out for more information in the weeks to come.
Schoology codes were shared by the district via email yesterday. If you have yet to receive the code for your student, please let me know.
As football games at A&M Consolidated and College Station HS begin, please note that intermediate students will not be permitted into the games without a parent or guardian. Once in the game, intermediate students will sit with either their parent/guardian or in the middle school section. Students found wondering around or beneath the bleachers will be removed.
Thank you all so much for allowing us the opportunity to work with your amazing children. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your child, please contact your child’s teacher, counselor, or the front office.
Sincerely,
Josh Symank
Principal - Oakwood
Have you used Schoology yet?
Teachers and students have already begun to utilize Schoology to share information and be organized this year.
Learn more about Schoology at under "Academics" on the Parent's Info tab at CSISD.org's website
Are you ready for some football?
Oakwood's most valued 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 or PTO members in need of volunteers. Thanks to all who help out this fall!
Share our Facebook page with event details about each game. The page is called "TAMU Game Day Parking at Oakwood" or follow the link:

Introducing the Oakwood Food Pantry
Oakwood will provide weekend packs for 25 students. A weekend pack contains enough food for two breakfasts, two lunches and two dinners for one student. All food in the packs are ready to eat.
Food donations are not able to be accepted. Besides donating funds to the pantry, donations of cinch backpack bags and toiletries such as deodorant, feminine hygiene products and shampoo are appreciated. Additional opportunities may be shared this year, but anyone is always welcome to check with the front office on how to make a monetary donation or otherwise to support the pantry.
Volunteering at Oakwood
We'd love to have your help at Oakwood! Whether it is bringing an item to share at a teacher appreciation event, volunteering a shift during book fair or assisting staff, Oakwood needs you! Help us to know what volunteering opportunities you would like to be kept informed of this year by filling out this google form below or picking up a volunteer interest form in the front office.
NOTE:
Register with CSISD to be a volunteer here if you'd like to help at the school during school hours.
Keep up with Oakwood PTO with texts and on Facebook
We share even more info for parents through Facebook for the school here and for the PTO here. It is encouraged that parents toggle on "Get Notifications" on the top of our pages. Otherwise, many posts will not be included in your news feed without being boosted with an ad buy.
