Oxford Attendance Corner
I will be posting numbers weekly to update families on our current attendance. I will focus on several different numbers.
1. Chronic absenteeism- Students missing 10% or more of their education are considered chronically absent. If a student is considered chronically absent their are missing a SIGNIFICANT amount of their education.
2. Tardies- Students who are late to school miss out on their education. Teachers begin teaching right away. They set the tone for the day. Students who are late to school on a consistent basis can be considered chronically absent if their tardy minutes add up.
3. Percent in attendance- This is our average daily percent of students in attendance.
CURRENT NUMBERS
Chronic Absenteeism- 24% (currently 24% of our students are missing 10% or more of their education) **THIS IS AN INCREASE OF 1% FROM LAST WEEK**

Lockdown Drill (3/5)
Dear Oxford Families,
With the assistance of local law enforcement agencies, Oxford will conduct an
ALICE drill, also known as a “lockdown drill,” in our building on Tuesday, March 5, 2024. ALICE stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate. These drills, which are required by law, allow the district to practice security plans, enhance safety, and offer increased options in the event of an emergency.
I encourage you to speak with your children about this drill and the importance of following the instructions during an actual emergency. Students should understand that drills are conducted, with and without notice, so that they can simulate an actual event and allow students and staff to practice responding in different areas of the buildings at different times of the day.
In the event of an actual emergency, the district will communicate with families through text messages, email, and/or the robocall system. Because the first priority of the district is to ensure the safety of your child, these messages will be sent as quickly as possible and after it is determined that all students are out of harm’s way. Please do not attempt to call the building during an emergency. All staff members will be assisting our students during that time and will be communicating with emergency personnel.
We thank you for your ongoing support of our emergency planning. If you have questions, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Jackie Taylor
