Oxbow Elementary

Ms. Nardell's Kindergarteners have been studying our names. We have counted the letters, clapped syllables, & cheered names. We also got to put our names puzzles together AND then traded with a friend and put their names together. We are having so much fun even writing each other's names! Go Kindergarteners!

This week in Physical Education the Oxbow students got to experience the exciting game of Gagaball. From Junior Kindergarten through 5th grade, students learned to work together, dodge, underhand strike, jump, and use strategy during game play. Oxbow students showed best effort, compassion, cooperation, rule following and safe choices during their P.E classes. Go Owls!

We have such a wonderful and supportive school community here at Oxbow! It was a great night full of important information shared by teachers, bidding at our Silent Auction and Title I information shared by Mrs. Greenleaf. Another great Curriculum Night is in the books. Thank you staff, parents and OPC! #WeAreOxbow

Oxbow Families, Please join us tonight for our annual Curriculum Night here at Oxbow! This school year, our Curriculum Night will begin with a Title I presentation for all parents with Mrs. Greenleaf that will begin at 5:30 pm in Room # 13 (in the kindy centrum). Parents will have an opportunity to learn more about what it means to be a Title I building. Parents will then have an opportunity to meet with their child’s teachers to learn more about grade level curriculum, classroom procedures and expectations this school year. There will be two sessions offered. Both sessions will cover the same topics; however it will give parents with multiple children the ability to attend different sessions. The sessions will be 6:00-6:25 pm and 6:30-6:55 pm in your child’s classroom. Curriculum Night is geared for adults and it may not be the most entertaining evening for younger siblings. We will have our OPC Silent Auction in the Multi-Purpose Room from 5:30-7:00 pm. Please be sure to stop by and help support Oxbow. We are excited to see you! Mrs. Greenleaf

Save the Date! Family Resource Night will be November 3rd.

Thank you to all of our local donors, staff and families that donated to our Silent Auction. Be there on the 22nd to see all of the great items that will be auctioned off!

Mark your calendars for our silent auction on Sept. 22nd.

Yesterday afternoon, Oxbow staff were involved in kicking off our journey of Collaborative Inquiry. Together, we worked on identifying a building wide shared problem of practice to discuss, investigate, and work through this school year. #WeAreOxbow
