West Oxford Owl for September 5, 2025

The state of North Carolina released their EOG scores from the 2024-2025 school year, and we are excited to announce that the percentage of students proficient on the EOGs continues to increase at West Oxford. This means that more students passed their EOGs this year than the previous years. Our third grade math scores were particularly outstanding. 

Test scores are only one way to assess the performance of a school. We know that our students and staff work incredibly hard as we learn to get along with one another, connect with our community, speak Spanish, think critically about global issues, and develop a love for learning. Please congratulate your students on their many accomplishments from last year as move full steam ahead into this year.

Our Candyman fundraiser has started. Please make sure you set up their account online so they can earn prizes!

We will celebrate grandparents and grandparent figures on September 8th with cookies and Capri Suns. RSVP on parent square so we know how many people to expect.

Our PTO will meet on Tuesday, September 9th from 6:00-7:00. Please join us in the media center to help plan upcoming events!

Progress Reports go home on September 11th. It's hard to believe we are halfway through the first quarter already!
