I want to commend our students and staff in their support of the United Way fundraising campaign this year. Collectively, Red Oak Middle raised over $6,000 to support our local United Way and all of projects. This is a true win for our community and demonstrates service-minded leadership which we all strive for.

They will be playing Elm City starting at 4:00... Hilliard is on the gate.

Good afternoon 7th Grade Families! This message is to inform you that all Seventh Grade students in North Carolina are required to have up-to-date immunizations.

Again, this is North Carolina law and there are free clinics Tuesdays at the Nash County Health Department. Details are included in the letter your child received. If they have not received a letter, your child is in compliance and this message is not directed at you. Thank you and call the school with any questions.
