Dear OVA Families,
We want to share an update regarding OVA’s school leadership. Dr. Jordan Dennis has made the difficult decision to leave Oxford Community Schools. We want to thank Dr. Dennis for his leadership and contributions during his time as principal. His commitment to our unique educational model has helped countless students thrive, and his positive impact will be felt for years to come. We wish him all the best in his next chapter.
Mrs. Janet Schell is returning as principal of Oxford Virtual Academy, serving in a more direct role supporting our students and staff.
As always, we remain committed to providing the highest quality education and support for all students. If you have any questions regarding this update, please feel free to reach out to Janet Schell, Executive Director of Innovative and Alternative Programs, at Janet.Schell@oxfordschools.org.

Dear Oxford Community Schools Families,
We understand that some families may have concerns about food insecurity. For additional support if needed, we have compiled a list of local food assistance resources. You can access the full list on our website here: Food Assistance Resources.
We also want to remind families that every student is encouraged to eat a free breakfast and lunch at school each day to ensure they have access to nutritious meals.
If your family is in need and unable to access food, please reach out to a Family School Liaison (FSL) or any school staff member. We are here to help connect you with the right resources.
Sincerely,
Oxford Community Schools
Enjoy trick-or-treating tonight! 💙💛

Dear OVA/Quo Vadis Parents and Guardians,
We wanted to provide you with information regarding law enforcement assistance at our location earlier today. Oxford’s Gaggle monitoring system alerted staff to a concerning statement made by a student on a district device. OVA and Quo Vadis staff members responded immediately in accordance with district safety procedures and contacted law enforcement to assist.
The situation was contained quickly, and there is no threat to students or staff. A formal threat assessment is underway, and the student involved will not be returning to school while the investigation continues. As a reminder, the threat assessment team includes a School Resource Officer, Administrator, and Mental Health Professional.
We understand that situations like this can be unsettling. Please know that our safety protocols worked as designed. The well-being of our students and staff remains our highest priority. Thank you for your continued support and partnership in maintaining a safe learning environment.
Greetings, OVA Parents, Families, and Students!

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!

Increased Funding for Schools: Additional funding through programs such as Title I, which supports all students.
