Dear stakeholders of the Oxford Area School District,
First, allow me to thank each of our stakeholders for your part in assisting the district in making it through the unusual 2020-2021 school year. You truly represent what is special about the Oxford community and district.
The 2021-2022 school year will start as a normal school year, and there will not be any mandated mitigation efforts as per the most recent guidance from the Chester County Department of Health (CCDoH). Please note that we anticipate staying in a normal setting unless mandated by the CCDoH to implement mitigation strategies based on metrics in the district or the County. Simply stated, Oxford Area School District will start fully in-person and in a normal capacity next school year in all facets of district operations from transportation to classes to clubs to athletics and fine arts. Any individual may choose to wear a mask at any time throughout the school day, and proper hygiene will still be highlighted in our schools.
Summer school programs will start on June 21, 2021, and will be under the current masking mandates. By Monday, June 28, 2021 (if not sooner, based on the Commonwealth’s percentage of vaccine completers), the masking mandates will terminate, then staff and students will have the choice to wear masks in all facets of summer school programming.
Again, I wish to thank all stakeholders, staff, and students for your patience and confidence as we bring this school year to an end and gear up for a normal start to the next school year.
All the best,
David A. Woods
Superintendent of Schools
Estimados interesados del Distrito Escolar del Área de Oxford,
Primero, permítame agradecer a cada uno de nuestros padres por su parte en ayudar al distrito a superar el año escolar 2020-2021. Realmente representa lo que tiene de especial la comunidad y el distrito de Oxford.
El año escolar 2021-2022 comenzará como un año escolar normal y no habrá ningún esfuerzo de mitigación obligatorio según la guía más reciente del Departamento de Salud del Condado de Chester (CCDoH). Tenga en cuenta que anticipamos permanecer en un entorno normal a menos que la CCDoH lo ordene para implementar estrategias de mitigación basadas en métricas en el distrito o el condado. En pocas palabras, el Distrito Escolar del Área de Oxford comenzará completamente en persona y en una capacidad normal el próximo año escolar en todas las facetas de las operaciones del distrito, desde el transporte hasta las clases, los clubes, el atletismo y las bellas artes. Cualquier individuo puede optar para usar una máscara en cualquier momento durante el día escolar, y la higiene adecuada seguirá siendo destacada en nuestras escuelas.
Los programas de la escuela de verano comenzarán el 21 de junio de 2021 y estarán bajo los mandatos de enmascaramiento actuales. Para el lunes 28 de junio de 2021 (si no antes, según el porcentaje de personas que completan las vacunas en el Commonwealth), los mandatos de enmascaramiento terminarán, luego el personal y los estudiantes tendrán la opción de usar máscaras en todas las facetas de la programación de la escuela de verano.
Nuevamente, deseo agradecer a todas las partes interesadas, personal y estudiantes por su paciencia y confianza mientras terminamos este año escolar y nos preparamos para un comienzo normal del próximo año escolar.
Todo lo mejor,
David A. Woods
Superintendente de escuelas
