Ox Ridge Community
As returning families know, Ox Ridge is a special place and much more than just a school for our children. We are a community that cares for all of its students, parents, teachers and staff. Ox Ridge has a Welcoming Committee, whose purpose is to welcome new families and an SOS Committee to help out families who find themselves in need of support.
Ox Ridge School and the PTO offer a variety of programs to extend the school experience before and after school. Many of these offerings are listed below with details subject to change. We hope that your children will take advantage of these great programs.
