Last month, a large group of students had the opportunity to participate in the Business Professionals of America (BPA) Regional Competition at Saginaw Valley State University. Students competed in a wide variety of events, ranging from individual competitions to team events.

We are excited to share that 48 of our students qualified to advance to the state competition!

Our students did an outstanding job, and we could not be prouder of their hard work and dedication!

Dear Oxford Community Members,

Happy New Year! Last month, a survey was sent to all community members regarding the revision and development of our Portrait of a Graduate. Thank you to the many who took time to provide your input.

What is a Portrait of a Graduate (PoG)?
The PoG is an aspirational framework that defines the essential skills, mindsets, and competencies our students need to thrive after they leave our schools. It looks beyond traditional academic achievement to focus on durable, post-secondary skills that are demanded by today's rapidly evolving workplaces. These can include things like complex problem analysis, resilience, communication, and innovative thinking.

In short, it’s our commitment to preparing students to be the knowledgeable, critical thinkers, and communicators our community needs.

In addition to the survey sent last month, we will be holding two in-person sessions to gather the community’s input. We invite parents/guardians, staff, local business owners, and members of various industries to participate in these in-person opportunities.

Wednesday, January 28, 2026
Oxford Education and Innovation Campus (OEIC)
775 W. Drahner Road
Oxford, 48371

Two session options: 1-3 pm or 5:30-7:30 pm

If you are interested in participating, please register here. Registration closes on January 21, 2026.

Thank you for your partnership in preparing our students for a successful future.

Imagine if we gave every single person in this community a size 8 running shoe. That’s Equality—everyone gets the exact same thing. But for most of us, those shoes wouldn't fit. Some would be tripping, others would be in pain, and some wouldn't be able to walk at all.

Equity is making sure everyone gets a shoe that actually fits their feet.

In our schools, inclusion works the same way. We don't believe in a "one size fits all" education. Inclusion means:
- Providing a quiet space for the student who gets overwhelmed by noise
- Giving extra time to the student who processes information differently
- Using visual aids for the creative thinkers

When we meet students where they are, we unlock their full potential. Inclusion isn't a favor we do for a few; it’s the way we ensure success for everyone.

During the December Board of Education meeting, we celebrated Academics, Arts, and Athletics by recognizing outstanding students throughout our district. They have truly accomplished amazing things, and we couldn’t be more proud!
