Our kinders enjoying some extra outdoor playtime before the rain!

Mrs. Martin's grade 5/6 students took advantage of the strong winds this afternoon to fly their kites, which they made in class.

Mr. Paterson has started a running club at Oxford, with each class having a designated day to participate. Here we have the grade 1/2 class out for their first run!

The parent/guardian letter on the updated COVID-19 School Screening Tool has been added to the #UCDSB website: https://bit.ly/3bqF3IW. Be sure to use this tool each day before sending your children to school (link to tool: https://bit.ly/33GzbHS). #WereInThisTogether

A big thank you to the wonderful teachers of the #UCDSB. You are dedicated, inspirational and we appreciate all that you do to support students in preparing them for a successful life. #WorldTeachersDay

Our community health partners, The Leeds, Grenville & Lanark District Health Unit and the Eastern Ontario Health Unit, have indicated this evening that parents should use the provincial screening tool that was updated today. If your child passes the screening they can attend school, even if they are waiting for test results. http://ow.ly/Aubf50BHhWn

We wish to thank John and Elaine Ireland of Ireland's Blueberry and Apple Orchard for kindly donating apples towards our Terry Fox day here at Oxford. The grade 5/6 students in this little video were students of Mrs. Ireland's when they were in kindergarten!

We had great weather for our Terry Fox run. All our Oxford students participated and had fun! We have lots of pictures to share with you.

The number of #UCDSB staff away with COVID-19 symptoms, self-isolating or awaiting test results is increasing. Approx. 500 subs are needed most days. If we can't secure adequate staff, schools will be forced to cancel classes or close temporarily. Read on: https://bit.ly/3l1pc7f

Just a little something for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!
