Depending on the nature of the event, we will utilize one or more of these tools: 

• Lone Oak Independent School District Website

• Emails, texts, and phone calls through the use of Blackboard Communications*
• Local news outlets (mainly for severe weather events)
• Extracurricular specific communication
  • Lone Oak Athletics App (push notifications and alerts)
  • SportsYou
  • Twitter
  • Band Facebook page
  • FFA Facebook Page
  • Athletics Facebook Page

*Parents are encouraged to notify their child’s school if phone numbers or email addresses are changed during the year.  To ensure your contact information is up to date, you can log into your ParentPortal. Please be aware that a number must be placed in the field for a cell phone number in order to receive campus and district text messages.
