8th Grade Parent Meetings

Please see the letter that was mailed to all 8th parents from White Oak High School a few weeks ago:

Hello Class of 2026 and Parents!

The time has come to begin registration for the 2022-2023 school year! White Oak High School is excited to welcome the Class of 2026.  WOMS students will tour the WOHS campus for Career and Technical Education day to view possible Programs of Study and Endorsement pathways on February 24, 2022. The students will receive a list of programs of study to discuss with you prior to your meetings.

We will meet March 1st and 2nd with all incoming 9th-grade students and their parent(s). Students will need to bring their chrome books with them to complete online course requests.  During the meetings, we will review possible course options for incoming 9th-grade students. At the end of the scheduled Parent/Student meeting, course selections will be finalized, Endorsements verified, and 4-year-plans will be signed and turned in and then 9th-grade Course Selection will be complete. 

In the event that a new course becomes available after the scheduling meeting, students and parent will be notified via email of new possible selections.

We look forward to meeting the newest WOHS Roughnecks!

Go Roughnecks!
