OMS 8th graders spent the day exploring the State Capitol in Lansing! They learned the ins and outs of both the Capitol building and the Michigan Hall of Justice. It was a great opportunity to see how state government works up close!

Meet the Wildcat alum whose drive took her across six continents and back to Detroit to make a difference!

🌟 Oxford Alumni Spotlight: Jessica Brasington, Class of 2012 🌟

While at Oxford, Jessica was involved in Varsity Track & Field, NHS, BPA, and received the Daughters of the American Revolution “Good Citizen of the Year” award. Her favorite part of Oxford was always feeling supported: “There was always an adult I knew, trusted, and respected nearby. That sense of security made me brave enough to try new things.”

After graduation, she earned her B.A. in Social Relations and Policy from James Madison College at Michigan State University. Her confidence took her around the world. She studied abroad in Italy, served in the Peace Corps in Indonesia, and traveled to six continents, sometimes even solo.

Jessica credits many staff members for inspiring her, especially Mrs. Wolbert, who reminded her: “You’re not there to impress anyone. Just be yourself, and if it’s not the right fit, at least you’re authentic.”

Today, Jessica serves as the Development Director at the NOAH Project Detroit, a nonprofit working to end homelessness. She builds community support and helps individuals experiencing homelessness share their stories with dignity.

Words of Advice for Current Wildcats: Your passions and career goals may change, but hard work is timeless. Always be compassionate, and remember the “Golden Rule.”

We are proud to celebrate Jessica and the incredible impact she is making!

First graders at DA braved the weather last Friday to head back in time to Camp Tamarack. They learned all about life in the past with fun activities like log cutting, candle making, square dancing and learning what school was like in a one room schoolhouse!

Dear Oxford Community,

You’re invited to join us on Tuesday, November 18, at 6:00 p.m. at Leonard Elementary for two brief presentations:

Addison Township Library: Hear about the library’s newest programs, resources, and services they provide to our community.

New Center-Based Program: Learn about the proposed ASD Center-Based program in Oxford through a partnership with Oakland Schools. The presentation will cover:

  • The application process that secures county funding to build the new center facility

  • The specifics of the proposed location and building design

  • The plan for how this partnership ensures our students receive stable, high-quality programming that is customized to individual student needs for optimal support

  • The tuition-based model that ensures operational costs are shared with other districts

This program would be funded through Oakland Schools, not our district, and could provide significant benefits for students within Oxford and the surrounding areas.

This event will be held in a Community of the Whole session, providing a more informal setting to meet the Board of Education and district administrators, ask questions, and share your thoughts before the board meeting.

When: Tuesday, November 18, 6:00 p.m.

Where: Leonard Elementary (335 E. Elmwood, Leonard, MI 48367)

We hope you’ll join us to learn more and engage in conversation!

Tomorrow is Veterans Day, and to recognize and honor those who have sacrificed so much for our country, OVA hosted a special celebration this afternoon to thank our veterans for their service.

The program featured a choir performance of The National Anthem and America the Beautiful, along with a heartfelt PowerPoint presentation and moving poems.

We were also honored to welcome two keynote speakers, both veterans, who shared their personal stories of service and reflected on the strength and impact of military life.

A special thank-you to LOFT for generously providing catering for the event.

We extend our deepest gratitude to all for their courage, dedication, and sacrifice in serving our nation. 🇺🇸🤍

On October 30, Clear Lake Elementary’s fifth-grade Spanish classes visited the Detroit Institute of Arts and Mexicantown! Students explored the DIA’s Day of the Dead ofrendas and stopped by La Gloria Bakery to sample authentic treats while conversing with shop owners in Spanish. It was a day full of learning, courage, and cultural connection!

Dear Oxford Community Schools Families,

Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote in yesterday’s election. While the results were not what we had hoped for, we are grateful for the engagement and care our community shows for our schools and students.

As a district, we will take time to carefully review feedback, evaluate our next steps, and continue to keep families informed about our plans. Our commitment to providing high-quality educational experiences remains strong, though the election results will require us to adjust some additional priorities moving forward.

We encourage families to stay informed and engaged as we review next steps and plan for the future. Information about upcoming opportunities to provide input will be shared on our website and through district communications. We appreciate your continued partnership and commitment to Oxford Community Schools.

With gratitude,
Dr. Tonya Milligan
Superintendent

This week is National School Psychology Week, and the theme “Finding Your Path” perfectly reflects the vital work our school psychologists do each day. They guide and advocate for students, families, and staff, helping set meaningful goals and discover the pathways to achieve them. Through their support of academic success, mental health, and collaboration across our community, our school psychologists help every individual find their unique path forward.

Thank you to our school psychologists for your unwavering commitment to helping students reach their full potential. We are honored to work alongside you.
