Election Update - What You’ll See on Your Ballot

As you prepare to vote in the August 4 election, please be aware that you'll see two separate school-related funding proposals on your ballot. While both would provide funding to Oxford Community Schools if approved, they are different proposals that serve different purposes.

Oxford Community Schools Non-Homestead Operating Millage

• Does not increase taxes on primary residences

• Supports day-to-day school operations

• Restores the current operating millage to 18 mills on non-homestead property and renews for ten years

• Operating millages have been part of Michigan’s school funding system since Proposal A in 1994.

Oakland Schools Enhancement Millage

• Applies to all taxable property in Oakland County, including primary residences

• Funding would be distributed countywide to public schools based on student enrollment.

• Oxford Community Schools would receive more funding than taxpayers in our district boundaries would contribute.

These are two separate ballot questions, and voters may vote on each proposal independently.

Dear Lakeville Families,

I hope you are all enjoying these exciting final days of the school year!

I am reaching out today with some news that I am disappointed to share. Shortly before our scheduled yearbook distribution this week, we uncovered some significant printing errors in the shipment. Because we want your children to have a keepsake that they can cherish forever, we immediately reached out to the printing company to arrange a full reprint.

Unfortunately, this means the yearbooks will not be ready for distribution before the school year wraps up this week. The printing company has given us an estimated production timeline of about two weeks.

We know how much the students look forward to the tradition of collecting autographs and messages from their friends and teachers during the last week of school. We are so sorry for this unexpected delay, and we want to make sure they don't miss out on that fun! Our team is working diligently right now to create and distribute special autograph pages for the students. Every student will receive a signing page this week so they can still collect signatures, swap sweet messages with their peers, and later place the insert directly into their new yearbook once it arrives.

Because Lakeville will be open for summer school in July, we will use that time as our primary hub for yearbook pickup. As soon as the corrected yearbooks arrive and are processed, we will send out a follow-up communication with specific days, times, and instructions for how you can collect your copy.

We are truly so sorry for this glitch and any disappointment it causes. We deeply appreciate your patience, warmth, and understanding as we work to get this right for our students.

Sincerely,
Kristin Guinn
Principal, Lakeville Elementary School

Due to changing weather conditions this morning, we anticipate some bus routes may run late as drivers exercise extra caution. Thank you for your patience.

Dear OCS Elementary Families,

We are aware that some parents and guardians are experiencing difficulties when attempting to access elementary report cards through the link emailed earlier today. In some instances, only the first page of the report card is loading; in others, the document is not opening at all.

PowerSchool employs a process called Document Management to prepare report cards for viewing and storing the file after the email notification is sent. Due to the high volume of report cards released simultaneously, it seems that the system is processing more slowly than usual. As a result, trying to access the report card immediately may lead to errors.

If you encounter this issue, please wait a little while and try the link in your email again later today or tomorrow. We understand this is inconvenient and appreciate your patience as the system completes its processing.

If you are still unable to access your child’s report card by tomorrow, please contact your building’s secretary for assistance.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Dear Oxford Community Schools Families,

We understand that some families may have concerns about food insecurity. For additional support if needed, we have compiled a list of local food assistance resources. You can access the full list on our website here: Food Assistance Resources.

We also want to remind families that every student is encouraged to eat a free breakfast and lunch at school each day to ensure they have access to nutritious meals.

If your family is in need and unable to access food, please reach out to a Family School Liaison (FSL) or any school staff member. We are here to help connect you with the right resources.

Sincerely,
Oxford Community Schools
