Dear Oxford Schools Community,
I am writing to inform you of a Mass Notification System/ALICE false alarm incident that occurred this morning at Oxford Middle School. A message was sent immediately to our OMS families.
We understand this could be activating to our entire community as word might spread. It was determined that there was no threat to students and staffs' safety. We have mental health supports available for our students and staff. We have contacted our alarm security company who will determine the origin of the false alarm.
As always, safety of our staff and students is our top priority. If you have any questions, please contact me.
Sincerely,
