Classes Have Started

We know that this first week of school can be very hectic, and we appreciate everyone's support. Grades 6-8 are required to change into the school PE uniform in order to participate in class. We will be requiring students to change into shorts and a T-shirt until the uniform orders have arrived. Once they have arrived the students will be required to wear their uniform each day for class.

The school board, physical education teachers and administration feel that changing clothes to participate in physical education classes promotes positive hygiene and safety during the classroom activity. Students are expected to change from their school attire to the gym uniform. The school attire should be stored in the school locker room with the students’ own personal lock. The lock may not be left on the locker when the student does not have gym. The locker is provided for student use only when they have scheduled physical education class. Students who do not lock their clothes in the temporary locker provided are doing so at their own risk and the Oxford Township Board of Education will not be responsible for items lost or stolen. All students in grades 6-8 are expected to change to the approved uniform for gym. If a student does not have the appropriate uniform for physical education class they will be determined to be unprepared for class and will lose credit for the day’s activities and they will not be allowed to participate. The cost of the school-approved gym uniform will be borne by the parent/ guardian. The school board will make every effort to assist those in financial difficulties and these cases will be managed on an individual basis. The school board will require the chief school administrator to show diligence in providing the most costly options available each year. Furthermore the chief school administrator is required to implement procedures and, as needed facility modifications, to provide the highest level of personal privacy in the student locker rooms. 

Please contact the Board Office if you are need of an order form to purchase the uniforms. Any questions please do not hesitate to contact Mr. C. or Mrs. Hart. The most effective way to communicate with us is to email us:
