As part of our focus on student safety, we want to remind everyone how important it is to stay alert and follow school bus safety laws.
When a school bus has its stop sign extended, all drivers are required to stop. This is not only the law, it is a critical step in protecting students as they get on and off the bus.
Thank you for helping us keep our roads and students safe!

Dear OCS Families and Staff,
We are reaching out to make you aware that Oxford Community Schools has learned that a substitute employee who worked in a support role within our transportation department was arrested on federal charges last week. The charges followed a federal investigation and are unrelated to Oxford Community Schools or any school-related activities. The district has taken steps to communicate with the small number of families whose students rode the bus with this employee. The individual is no longer employed by Oxford Community Schools.
Please note, as a condition of employment, every Oxford Community Schools employee, including substitutes, is legally required to complete a comprehensive criminal background check as outlined by the FBI and Michigan State Police.
Our focus remains on maintaining a safe and supportive environment for all students. While the investigation does not involve the district, we take this matter seriously and remain fully committed to the safety of our students through the integrity of our hiring and background check processes.
Sincerely,
Oxford Community Schools

Did Mr. Kaye know what he was signing up for as Leonard’s new principal? Probably not a night on the roof! After students crushed their Fund Run goal, he kept his promise, complete with a rooftop bedtime story! 📖🌙
Big thanks to Mr. Kaye, the students, families, and staff for making this such a success! 💙💛

They really do put on the Greatest Show! 🎶
The marching band’s energy and music bring so much joy to Friday nights, and this year’s performance of The Greatest Showman has been impressive! After spending long, hot days at camp before the school year, the band works extra hard to prepare for the season.
Big thanks to Wheaton Photography for the great photos!

Dear Oxford Families,
I want to take a moment to share something important with you. We’ve put together a very short video (just 2½ minutes) that explains what will be on the ballot this November. I implore you to watch it. It has even helped me, as the district superintendent, to better understand the proposals, and I hope it will help you feel informed as well.
Absentee voting has already started, and Election Day is just around the corner on November 4. If you find the video helpful, please consider forwarding it to friends and family who live in Oxford, or sharing it on social media if you’re comfortable doing so.
For additional information including Frequently Asked Questions, please visit https://oxfordschools.org/millage. Thank you for taking a few minutes to be informed; it truly makes a difference!
