Oxford High School

Good afternoon OHS families,

Today was the first day of our student backpack distribution and it went very well.  As a result, we have decided to combine Tuesday and Wednesday schedules (see updated schedule below). Thank you, in advance, for your patience and flexibility as we navigate the return of our students’ items.

Each 5^th hour teacher/class has been assigned a 30-minute time slot for pick up. We ask that parents and students use both the parent and bus loops in the north parking lot near the main office (see map below with blue and gold directional lines/arrows). We understand this may be extremely emotional for our parents and students.  We will have many of our OHS staff members assisting and will have a police presence on campus and at pick up. 

Important notes:

• To promote safety and an orderly pickup, we ask you to arrive during your designated time slot if possible. We understand some people may be unable to do so during the assigned time and may not be available during that time, in which case arrive when you can and we will arrange for a pickup.
• We also understand if parents/students do not want to return to the school grounds to retrieve student backpacks/coats. We will work with you to determine an alternative method to return your student belongings by the end of the week. 
• Please use the loop at the north end of the building per the map below. Please do not exit your vehicle. We will bring your belongings out to you.
• Upon arrival in one of the north loops please provide the name of the student and 5th hour teacher to the staff member, who will be utilizing  a walkie-talkie to communicate with people inside the building. A different staff member will then bring out the student belongings to you. 
• Please understand that our primary focus is to return student backpacks and winter coats. We will try our best to locate other materials (i.e., water bottles, shoes, etc.) at a later date.
