Dear OCS Community and Staff,

You’re invited to join us for a “Community of the Whole” session focused on our Portrait of a Graduate—our shared vision of the knowledge, skills, and character traits every student should develop by the time they graduate from our district. This portrait guides what we teach, how we teach it, and how we support students from kindergarten through graduation.

About the Session

• Purpose: We’ll provide a brief update on the work completed so far, including how we gathered input from students, families, educators, and community partners, and how themes have emerged.

• Your voice: We’ll facilitate activities to solicit your input on the draft competencies and priorities, so the Portrait reflects our whole community.

• Strategic alignment: This revises our current Portrait of a Graduate to align with the district’s updated strategic plan, ensuring our vision for graduates reflects evolving priorities and continues to prepare every student for college, career, and life.

Event Details

• Date/Time: Tuesday, January 27, 2026 at 6:00 PM

• Location: Oxford Elementary School (OES); 109 Pontiac Street

• This session is open to all community members, and no registration is required.
  

Your perspectives will help us finalize a portrait that is inclusive, ambitious, and actionable for all students. 

Additionally, we have reopened the Portrait of a Graduate community survey that was sent last month for those who would still like to add their input. 

Thank you for partnering with us to shape a future-ready experience for every student. We hope to see you there!

Due to forecasted dangerously low temperatures, all Oxford Community Schools will be closed tomorrow, Friday, January 23, 2026.

Please stay safe and take necessary precautions in the extreme cold.
