Dear Oxford Community Schools Families,
Starting Monday, December 1, Oxford High School will adjust its afternoon entry procedures as outlined below.
After 3:00 p.m., Door #17 (south, pool entrance) will be Exit Only. Anyone wishing to enter the building after this time should use Door #2 (main office entrance). Visitors and students may still be picked up at Door #17, which will remain open for exit only.
Morning arrival procedures will remain unchanged.
We understand that changes can take a little getting used to, and we appreciate your patience. This adjustment will help keep everyone safe while allowing events, practices, and other activities to run smoothly.
Thank you for your support and cooperation.
Sincerely,
Oxford Community Schools

Dear Oxford Community Schools Families,
We understand that some families may have concerns about food insecurity. For additional support if needed, we have compiled a list of local food assistance resources. You can access the full list on our website here: Food Assistance Resources.
We also want to remind families that every student is encouraged to eat a free breakfast and lunch at school each day to ensure they have access to nutritious meals.
If your family is in need and unable to access food, please reach out to a Family School Liaison (FSL) or any school staff member. We are here to help connect you with the right resources.
Sincerely,
Oxford Community Schools
We’re still not sure about this whole 6-7 craze but some of our teachers had fun with it today! Oxford Elementary even had a group take it next level with their own creative twist—“Sick 7”! Such a fun day! 🎃

Students completed a quick survey to share what they thought of the bowls, and our Nutrition Services Director, Patty Silory, will review the feedback with her team to see how they can make the next one even better! Thanks to everyone who joined in the fun!

Dear Oxford Families,
I want to take a moment to share something important with you. We’ve put together a very short video (just 2½ minutes) that explains what will be on the ballot this November. I implore you to watch it. It has even helped me, as the district superintendent, to better understand the proposals, and I hope it will help you feel informed as well.
Absentee voting has already started, and Election Day is just around the corner on November 4. If you find the video helpful, please consider forwarding it to friends and family who live in Oxford, or sharing it on social media if you’re comfortable doing so.
For additional information including Frequently Asked Questions, please visit https://oxfordschools.org/millage. Thank you for taking a few minutes to be informed; it truly makes a difference!

The State of Michigan has adopted a new state budget that includes continued funding for free breakfast and lunch for all students this school year.
We still encourage all families to complete the Free and Reduced-Price Meal Application each year. The information provided through these applications helps determine eligibility for various supports and funding that benefit both families and schools.
Benefits of Completing the Application include:
Free or Reduced-Price Meals: Direct financial assistance to families if the universal free meal program is not renewed in the future.
Discounts on Educational Activities: Possible cost reductions for AP exams, field trips, and after-school programs.
Other Student and Household Support: Access to programs that provide food assistance, school supplies, and holiday support.
Increased Funding for Schools: Additional funding through programs such as Title I, which supports all students.
Eligibility for Other Programs: The application can help determine eligibility for other state and federally funded programs.
Families can complete the application online or request a paper copy from their school office.

Dear Oxford High School Families,
We’ve had a wonderful start to the school year, and I’m excited to share some important information with you. On November 4, two Oxford Community Schools proposals will appear on the ballot. These proposals help support our students, classrooms, and school facilities.
Non-Homestead Operating Millage – Helps fund day-to-day operations, including classrooms, programs, and instruction. This millage applies only to non-homestead properties (commercial, rental, and second homes) and does not increase taxes for primary homeowners.
Sinking Fund Millage – Provides funding for building maintenance, safety upgrades, and facility improvements that benefit students and the community. View this flyer outlining tentative projects planned for the first year of the Sinking Fund at our school.
I’d like to encourage all families to review the attached flyer and learn more about these proposals. Additional information is available on the district website at https://www.oxfordschools.org/millage.
Thank you for staying informed and for all you do to support our students and school community!
Sincerely,
Brad Bigelow, Principal
Oxford High School
