Inclement Weather Reminders
The following is a summary of the announcements that you will receive this year in case of a
weather related event or some other emergency and what they mean:
SCHOOLS REMOTE – EARLY MORNING OR NIGHT BEFORE In the event of inclement weather or some other emergency that
would necessitate a closure during the 20-21 school year, Oxford Public Schools will switch to
a remote learning day instead of a “no school day.” In addition, the district will also switch
to a remote learning day instead of a “delayed two hour school opening.” Scheduled
in-person learning will be held remotely. Schools will follow their regular bell schedules. Staff
members should work remotely and not report to their buildings.
SCHOOLS CLOSED – EARLY MORNING OR NIGHT BEFORE This will be used when there will be NO REMOTE LEARNING due
to numerous reported power outage issues. All in-person classes
and remote classes are cancelled and staff members should not report to their buildings. In addition,
all afternoon/evening school clubs, activities, and sports will be cancelled.
SCHOOLS EARLY RELEASE – SAME DAY Used when Oxford Public Schools will be dismissing in-person learning two (2) hours early due to
impending inclement weather and road conditions. In addition, the regular school day
for all full remote learners will be shortened by two hours and end at the same time as in-person
learning. All afternoon/evening school clubs, activities, and sports will be cancelled.

HYBRID MODEL INFO AND CALENDAR
Hybrid Model Clarification
All students who are in the hybrid model should have attended orientation on September 16th (Cohort A) or September 17th (Cohort B). There is no school for all students (Remote or Hybrid) on September 18th. If you did not attend orientation please contact your child’s teachers directly or the main office.
Starting Monday, September 21st, ALL HYBRID STUDENTS are remote for two weeks. They should follow the schedule given to them in orientation and sent to them by their teachers. They need to log onto school virtually with their teachers every day from Monday the 21st through Friday, October 2nd. It is a regular school day.
On October 5th, we will start with the in person Hybrid Model starting with Cohort A. Cohort A will be in Person the week of October 5th, and Cohort B will be Remote. All students in Cohort B remote will be asked to log into their classes every period at the beginning and the end. Some teachers may have them stay for the full class, that is at the discretion of the individual teacher. Students need to log into their classes no later than 7:55 to be counted present in the morning. It is possible they may have to wait a few minutes for the teacher to get on in the morning, as they are busy as the students come in, so I encourage you and your student to please be patient with them. Teachers will be keeping track of attendance and attendance WILL COUNT even if students are at home. It is a regular school day.
I have attached two calendars below that show exactly who is in school when. Any questions please contact the main office. Thank you.
If your students are in the FULL REMOTE MODEL you continue to attend school daily as normal.

Last Minute Details for the start of school...
HYBRID STUDENTS - Students will be getting technology during orientation if it was requested through the technology department. Because not all students will have access right away we will NOT be doing remote check ins the first two days of orientation. We also will not be penalizing students for attendance those two days. I have asked the teachers to send out info on assignments for students to work on if they are remote those days and also to send out a copy of the schedule so students know what to expect. Please reach out to your child's individual teacher(s) with any questions (some teacher assignments, especially in grade 6, changed this week. This should be updated in powerschool now).
- When students arrive tomorrow and Thursday, they will be directed to where they need to go to meet their teachers. Grade 5 will be going to the Cafeteria and grades 6 and 7 to the auditorium. We have staged both areas to be socially distant and safe for them in the morning.
- Parent drop off starts at 7:20am this year. This is to stagger students entering the building. Please adhere to this to help us keep students safe. Please see the parent drop off and pick up information in my last email or in the electronic backpack. Dismissal is at 2:12pm.
- Students only need their own device (if they have it), lunch, and maybe a notebook and and writing materials for the first two days of school. No need to bring everything in for orientation. All students will be getting a planner.
- Students will come home from orientation with the tools they need to do remote learning the next few weeks. Teachers will be showing them how to log in, how to navigate google classroom, and also giving them any hard copy materials they may need.
FULL REMOTE STUDENTS: - Teachers:
- Grade 5: Mrs. Doray and Mrs. Hornbaker
- Grade 6: Mr. Moriarty and Mrs. Racicot
- Grade 7: Mrs. Blood (ELA), Mrs. Kniskern (Science), Mrs. Grzembski (Math), Mrs. Curtis (History)
- They should be sending you all the information and schedules and how to log in. If you did not get information please reach out to them directly.
- If you were not able to pick up materials today for your remote learning, please contact Miss Belhumeur.
We are so excited to see your students tomorrow and Thursday!! If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out!! |

REMOTE LEARNING ACADEMY INFORMATION
Full Remote Learning Academy students will begin their year on September 16th. They will NOT attend in person Orientation, and their individual teachers will contact them prior to the start of school with information on google classroom, curriculum, and class times.
Attendance does count and all students are expected to be on and logged in virtually with their teachers for the scheduled school day (7:45am-2:12pm).
All classes will be instructed by a teacher except for their special, which will be done via enginuity. They will start on September 16th with their 4 core courses, and their special will begin at a later date as we are still working on setting up enginuity. Once that is set up, the teachers will instruct students on how to access their special class.
On days their teacher happens to be absent, they will have class assignments through enginuity.
We will have a pick up day for materials and chromebooks for REMOTE students on September 15th. At this time students can pick up materials and if requested through the technology dept, a chromebook. Please wear a mask and social distance.
