Good afternoon Red Oak Family! I want to let you know that there was a car accident on Red Oak-Battleboro Rd. at 8:00am this morning. This did not impact our arrival process and we hope that everyone involved is doing well! If you have any questions about school safety and our processes, please call the school.

Good evening Red Oak Family! I want to thank everyone (students, staff, parents, and local law enforcement) in making the first day of the 2023-24 school year a success. We clearly have some processes to iron out, but through patience and maintaining our focus on safety, we will get things done to increase efficiency. We will continue to utilize the EVOLV safety screening system and make that a part of our routine. Thank you in advance for your support and patience!
