Annual Summer Enrichment Program Returning Soon For Oxford Students

OXFORD, CT — With summer just around the corner, it is time to begin planning for Oxford’s Summer Enrichment Program, which will begin Tuesday, July 1 and run through Thursday, July 24.

Sessions will be held four days a week – Monday through Thursday. Due to scheduled HVAC upgrades and other work, the program will not have access to Quaker Farms School. The district is working on plans to either hold all classes at the middle school, or to split the program between the middle school and high school.

Grade 3-6 classes are split into two 90-minute sessions (8:30-10 a.m. and 10-11:30 a.m.), while K-2 classes meet for the full three hours.

Courses for grades3-6 include baking/cooking, basketball/ arts/crafts/jewelry and outdoor sports. Getting to Know You is offered for kindergarteners, Whales of Fun for first-graders, and Splashing Into 2nd Grade for second-graders.

Registrations and payments can be made via myschoolbucks.com. Parents of incoming kindergarteners will need to set up a new account for the incoming student in order to register and pay. When setting up an account for an incoming kindergarten student, choose “Enrollment” as the school and not QFS. Any questions about the myschoolbucks process can be directed to summer program coordinator Steve Giacomi at giacomis@oxfordpublicschools.org and/or the district’s IT director, Jim Luchsinger, at luchsingerj@oxfordpublicschools.org.

Registration deadline is June 23.

Parents are responsible for transportation to and from classes, as there is no bus transportation for this program.

Anyone with questions can call or text 203-578-0749 between 3-7 p.m.
