FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH


We understand that raising a family during hard economic times may mean making tough decisions. With the rising cost of home heating fuel, gasoline, food and other necessities, parents across the country are finding it difficult to make ends meet.

The National School Lunch Program can help.  If your financial situation has changed, or you are having difficulty meeting your monthly obligations, we encourage you to inquire about the Free and Reduced lunch program.  You may find that you qualify for this program and we can be of assistance to your family.  Click
here to view and download the application.

 

There are other benefits to applying for this program, as well.  Families can help their schools just by returning their applications.  The number of Free and Reduced-Price Lunch Applications that our schools receive can qualify and effect funding for almost all of our other programs.  Simply returning the application makes it easier for our schools and community to receive the resources we need.

 

Studies have shown that students who participate in the National School Lunch Program are more likely to eat more vegetables, drink more milk, limit sweetened drinks, and eat fewer cookies and salty snacks than students who make other lunch choices.



LATE BUS

The Oxford Public Schools offers a late bus to students who attend the Oxford Middle and Oxford High School.  Click for more information about this service.


HOMELESS

If you are currently homeless and have school age children, or are a student yourself currently in a status of homelessness, educational services are available through the Oxford Public Schools.  Please see attached flyer for details.


SPECIAL EDUCATION SCREENING


Massachusetts Special Education Law 603 CMR 28.03 requires each school district to conduct screening for three and four year olds.  “Such screening shall be designed to review a child’s development and to assist in identification of those children who should be referred for an evaluation to determine eligibility for special education services.”  

 

This letter is to inform you that the Oxford Public Schools is offering regularly scheduled screenings beginning January of 2009 for children aged three to four years old.  Please note that participation in these screenings is optional, and appointments should take approximately 20-30 minutes.  

 

Screenings will be conducted one Friday per month between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Below is a list of screening dates for the remainder of the 2008-2009 school year.
