Dear OHS and OMS Families,

Oxford High School will dismiss early today due to a power outage caused by a downed power line on Ray Road east of Oxford Road. Ray Road is closed in that area, so please avoid traveling that route to or from the school.

Buses will arrive at OHS around 2:00 PM for dismissal. They will then travel to Oxford Middle School to pick up students there and begin afternoon drop-offs. OMS will dismiss at their regular time, and both OHS and OMS students will arrive home approximately 30 minutes early today.

Elementary dismissal times are not affected at this point.

Some afterschool activities may still take place, especially outdoor activities. Coaches and advisors will share updates directly regarding today’s schedules.

Thank you for your understanding,

Oxford Community Schools

Dear Oxford High School Families,

Oxford High School experienced a brief power outage today that lasted about 20 minutes. Power has since been restored, and the cause remains unknown at this time.

All students and staff remained safe, and our team did a great job supporting students throughout the situation. Lunch was still able to be provided.

Sincerely,

Oxford Community Schools

Happy School Bus Driver Appreciation Day! 🚌💛

Happy Administrative Professionals Day! 💙✨

Pictured are some of our amazing administrative assistants who help keep everything running smoothly each day. They juggle so many different responsibilities, from supporting students, staff, and families, to organizing daily operations, solving problems on the fly, and making sure everything behind the scenes runs as it should.

Their dedication makes a huge impact across our schools, and so much of what we do would not be possible without them. We truly have the best!

We are incredibly grateful for all they do every single day!

First graders wrapped up their Economics Unit with an exciting Market Day! 💰✨

Students at DA became real-world producers and consumers as they worked together to sell goods and services they created themselves. They put their learning into action using key economic concepts like wants, needs, goods, services, scarcity, and profit.

Students could only spend classroom-earned money they had worked for over the past several weeks, and earning it meant showing responsibility as a student. It was a fun, hands-on way to bring economics to life!

This evening’s board of education meeting will be live-streamed courtesy of OCTV and can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/@OCTVMichigan. For those attending the meeting in person, the meeting location is at Lakeville Elementary School. This regular board meeting will begin at 6:30 p.m.

Celebrating Brian Gohs as our Maintenance Support Person of the Year! 👏

Brian is an essential part of keeping our buildings running safely and smoothly. He oversees multiple facilities and consistently steps up wherever he is needed, day or night, whenever support is required.

Brian goes above and beyond every single day with a positive attitude and a true servant’s heart. He never says “that’s not my job” and instead leads by example through hard work, reliability, and integrity. He even went out of his way to become certified to take on pool maintenance, helping us successfully pass state inspections with zero issues.

His honesty and character shine just as brightly as his work ethic. Brian is a quiet leader who shows up, gets the job done, and supports our community in every way he can, including volunteering with student programs and concessions when help is needed.

We are so grateful for all you do. Congratulations and thank you for your outstanding dedication!

Good Evening, Oxford Families!

Teacher Appreciation Week is coming up, and we’d love your help recognizing our incredible Oxford Schools staff! 

Please take a moment to share a message, and optionally a photo, to recognize a current teacher, counselor, bus driver, secretary, food service worker, administrator, paraprofessional, or other school staff member who has made a difference for your student. You’ll need to be logged in with a Google account to complete this Staff Appreciation Submission Form.

We’d love to receive submissions by Thursday, April 30, so we can begin sharing the following week. We can’t guarantee that we’ll be able to share every response we receive, but we will do our best to include as many messages as possible! We will select submissions throughout the week to feature on our district website and social media channels, and we’ll also send all the messages directly to the staff member being recognized. A photo of your student with the staff member is welcome but not required; any photo that helps personalize your message is great!

Have questions or want to submit outside the form? Send an email to socialmedia@oxfordschools.org and we'll help you out.

Thanks for helping us show our team how much they’re appreciated!

Sincerely,

Oxford Community Schools

Please take a moment to read the message below from Courtney Morin, where she shares more about herself and her excitement for joining the Leonard Elementary community.

Dear Leonard Elementary Families,

I am honored and excited to introduce myself as the new principal of Leonard Elementary for the upcoming school year! It is a privilege to continue serving within Oxford Community Schools and I am grateful for the opportunity to join the Leonard community.

My journey in Oxford has been both meaningful and rewarding. I spent several years as a third grade teacher at Lakeville Elementary, where I built a strong foundation in supporting student learning and growth. I later served as an IB Coordinator at OELC, DA, and OES, and I am currently finishing the year there as an instructional coach, partnering with teachers and administration to strengthen instruction and student success. Each of these roles has deepened my commitment to creating positive, engaging, and high-quality learning environments for all students. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education, a Master's degree in Educational Leadership, and endorsements in Early Childhood and Science.

As I step into the Leonard Elementary principal position, my priority is to build strong, trusting relationships with students, families, and staff. I believe that clear communication, collaboration, and a visible, supportive presence are essential to a thriving school community. Leonard Elementary is a special place and my goal is to ensure that we continue to be a place where every child feels safe, known, and inspired to learn.

On a personal note, I am married to my college sweetheart, Ben. We met at Western Michigan University (Go Broncos!). We have three children: Luke, who will be entering his junior year; Elle, who will be starting her freshman year; and Drew, who will be heading into 6th grade. Being both an educator and a parent gives me a deep appreciation for the partnership between home and school.

As I prepare to get to know your student(s) for the 26-27 school year, I have included an optional "Getting to Know You" form below for you to fill out. This is a way for us to initially connect and helps me understand each student’s unique needs, interests, and strengths. I am genuinely excited about collaborating with each of you to build upon the strong family community that defines Leonard Elementary.

Thank you for your continued support of Leonard Elementary - I look forward to a wonderful year ahead together.

Warm regards,
Courtney Morin
