We are all familiar with the African proverb that says, "It takes a village to raise a child." That quotation has never been more true. Our students are faced with a myriad of challenges everyday. It is vital that we all work together to give our children the best opportunity to achieve success. Communication is a critical component. We as educators must communicate with you and we ask that you have an open line of communication with us as well. The illustration below outlines the communication plan for Oxford High School.
