West Oxford Owl
October 20, 2023
It is hard to believe that the first quarter of the school year has ended! It's been a great start to the year, and we can't wait to see what will happen next. West Oxford fathers made us proud at the All Pro Dad's breakfast last week! We had well over 100 fathers attend, and we are so thankful for the way each of you care about your child and support them in school. Third grade went to the science museum this week and learned about a wide array of animals, from ants to blue whales. Our PTO fundraiser exceeded our target of $15,000! Thank you to each family who worked to raise money to support our PTO. This money will go back to our school in a variety of ways. After students left Thursday, teachers attended Science of Reading training, and spent all day Friday working on report cards and preparing for the start of the second quarter.
Picture day is October 24th, and October 26th is an early release day. We will have our first big PBIS event of the year, an ice cream dance party! It will cost 100 Dojo Points to attend!
October 26th is our parent conference date for the first quarter. Awards assemblies will be on November 1st. Your teacher will reach out to schedule times for conferences and to let you know if your student will receive an award.
November 3rd is Fall Festival from 5:00-7:00. Let the office know if you are interested in helping out! We need volunteers to staff booths, donate food, and bake cakes! Please plan to join us and bring friends!
We are focused on improving our attendance this year, and one of the things we are going to do is to enter each student who earn our 98% is Great Attendance Award into a raffle for a Kindle! It will come with a year's subscription to access kid's books. Students qualify if they are present all day, 98% of the time, only 1 absence, 1 tardy, and 1 early check out each quarter to qualify. Eligibility for the raffle starts Monday, October 23rd, with the start of the second quarter.
