Dear Chandler Oaks Families,
The time has come! We are ready to start taking suggestions for Chandler Oaks colors and mascot! We will ask you to submit suggestions on paper to a box in your current library. Most frequently submitted suggestions and other suggestions of merit will be placed on an electronic ballot for a final vote.
Families without home computers can access the ballot on a computer in the library at their current school. Please just vote once. When the window for voting has closed, school officials will work with the PTA president or designee to determine the winner and make the exciting announcement.
It is preferred that we not choose the same mascot as another Round Rock elementary school but we can duplicate a middle or high school mascot. Here are the current RRISD elementary school mascots: armadillo, bee, blue jay, bobcat, bulldog, comet, cougar, dinosaur, eagle (2), gator, gex the gecko, Indian, Indian brave, jaguar, lion, longhorn, owl, panther, pioneer, rider, roadrunner, stallion, Texan, tiger, Viking, wolf, and wildcat. The mascots at the middle and high school we feed into are the Walsh Wildcats and the Stonypoint Tigers.
FYI: The color scheme within our building is one of natural earthy shades of color that will accent the stone motif that is carried through the main part of the building. Tile/paint/accents will include: RED (an earthy, almost brick-like red), PURPLE (dark, almost eggplant), and TAN (also dark, warm). We can choose two or three colors as our official colors.
¬TIMELINES
APRIL 16 is the deadline for submitting suggestions.
APRIL 21-27 is the window for voting on line. Students can vote by going here (starting April 21st): http://schools.roundrockisd.org/chandleroaks/vote.asp
The FIRST WEEK IN MAY the mascot and colors will be announced via eNews, principal’s blog and at the Teravista and Sommer campuses.
Thanks everyone!
Rebecca Lavender and the Chandler Oaks Staff
