Hello, this is David Hamburg providing an update on the heating situation at Jordan Bank School. I am pleased to inform you that Jordan Bank will be open tomorrow, Thursday, November 30th, as the heat has been successfully restored.

I want to express my gratitude for your patience and flexibility over the past few days. I understand that arranging childcare on short notice can be challenging, and I truly appreciate your cooperation during this difficult period.

I eagerly anticipate seeing everyone tomorrow, Thursday, November 30th. Thank you once again.

Thanks,

Dave

Citadel Heart of Learning Award

At Citadel Credit Union, we’re committed to serve those who work every day to build a better future for us all. That’s why every year, we honor teachers across the Greater Philadelphia area in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, Lancaster and Philadelphia counties with the Citadel Heart of Learning Award. If you know a teacher who truly cares about their students and puts in the extra effort to enhance their educational experience, please submit a nomination. Prizes will total $60,000 for the best teachers in the region along with a glass heart award for each winner.

How to Submit a Nomination:

All too often, teachers are unsung heroes. If you know a teacher who goes above and beyond the call of duty, share their story and how they’ve impacted your life or a student’s life. You can submit a written nomination form, email us or a video nomination. To submit a video nomination you can create a post on TikTok, Instagram, or Facebook and tag us @citadelcreditunion on TikTok or @CitadelBanking on Instagram and Facebook with the hashtag #CitadelHeartofLearning. Just make sure your video shows us exactly why your teacher should be nominated.

“Thanking our staff and administrators for their strengthening of the educational system over the past decade”.

Good afternoon.

This is a message from Superintendent David Woods.

After consultation with the first responders and care providers working with the displaced people from the fire in Oxford Borough, I have determined that the Oxford Area School District will be on a normal school day and schedule Monday, September 18, 2023.

Many stakeholders have asked what they can do for the people displaced by the fire.  We have and will update our webpage to reflect the different venues for donations. 

Many District staff,  organizations from the Oxford community, first responders, Commonwealth, County and Federal entities have assisted or offered to assist in the relocation and normalization of our displaced students.  I very much appreciate all of the efforts made by the individuals and organizations.  We will continue to assist where needed in the weeks and months ahead.

Again, thank you for your patience and assistance over the last two days.

Enjoy,

David
