Oxbow Elementary

Similar to urgent care for a physical illness, Behavioral Health Urgent Care provides timely assessment and treatment for urgent, but not emergency, mental health needs. It offers an alternative to seeking care in the emergency room, helping to de-escalate mental health symptoms before they become a life-or-death crisis.

Our JK students in Mrs. Borrie's class had so much fun making Oobleck with their 4th grade buddies in Mrs. Brinkman's classroom. There were so many smiles today!

We are so happy to announce that Glenn, Mrs. Richard's dog, has passed his therapy certification! Glenn will be at Oxbow a few days a week as an additional sensory and intervention strategy. Thank you to Mrs. Richards for all of her hard work in helping Glenn get through his program, and thank you to our OPC for helping to support this endeavor. We truly are lucky to be part of such a great school community, and love that Glen will be joining our Oxbow family.

Muffins with Mom (or that Special Someone) was absolutely amazing! It was fantastic to see all of the smiles. Thank you parents, staff, students and OPC for a memorable day!

Thank you to one of our very own, Mr. Cliff, from the HVS Transportation Department for showing our JK and K kids how great the bus can be and for taking them on a ride today! #kday #oxbow #owlpride

Today Oxbow had the privilege of meeting story teller, Genot Picor. The students had a wonderful time singing, dancing, and acting out parts of his wonderful Michigan History stories. The kids even had the chance to learn some Native American sign language, as well as a fun game children would play in the past to practice spear fishing.

Oxbow had the pleasure of a recent visit from Mr. Rich Luterman, Chief Meteorologist at Fox 2 News. Our second and fourth grade classes thoroughly enjoyed learning about weather patterns and tornadoes. Thank you, Mr. Luterman.
