Attendance policy and the importance of attendance.
Our school day begins at 9:10 a.m. and ends at 4:07 p.m. If your child will be late or absent, please call the Oxbow 24-hour attendance line at 248-684-8074 by 9:15 a.m. If we do not hear from you, you will receive a phone call from our Skylert system and your student will be marked unexcused. If your student is at a doctor appointment please provide a doctor note to the office. We want to make sure all our students are safe and accounted for every day and appreciate your support. Academics as well as social interaction, building positive relationships with school staff, and developing a connection with the school community are essential to your child's overall development. Therefore, supporting your child's attendance is crucial to their success. Parents play an important role in ensuring that their child maintains a good record for punctuality and attendance. Thank you for your partnership as we work together, to make a positive difference in the success of your child!
Attention Dad's, Grandpa's, and other Father Figures! Please see the attached flier to volunteer here at Oxbow!
Please find a copy of our District Elementary Specials Calendar. Please see your child's teacher for more details.
