The state released test scores from the 2023-24 year this week! We have so much to celebrate! West Oxford improved their letter grade from a F to a D, jumping 10 points on their SPG score. Our students met growth in reading and exceeded growth in math. While test scores are certainly only one measure of our incredible student and staff outcomes, it is an important measure. We are excited to celebrate how much our students have grown as we all work to improve our test scores across the school. Congratulations to all of our WOX owls!
This week we will have our first lockdown drill. We will review safety procedures with all students, and we work closely with law enforcement to conduct the drill. While we hope to never need to use these procedures, it is critical that our students know what to do in case of a crisis. Please talk to them about the importance of taking these drills seriously.

The weather is changing. We know that students wear jackets in the morning when it is cool, but many jackets are abandoned as they warm up throughout the day. Please put your child's name in the jacket so we can help them get home at the end of the day.
Please make sure that you are reading with your child for 20 minutes each night. Happy reading!
