Our district provides a Multi-Tier System of Support (MTSS) throughout
all of our schools and believes we have a responsibility to
educate the whole child. Just as we provide high-quality instruction,
support services and interventions to students academically,
we find it is necessary to give the same when it comes to social emotional
health and well-being.
Social-emotional skills are seen
as a prerequisite for learning and go hand in hand with academics. Oxford Community Schools Family School Liaisons
(FSL) help support
the growing social and emotional needs of our students while working in conjunction with the family and community to cultivate educational success.
