MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN

Happy Friday, Live Oaks families,
 
Next Friday marks the end of the 1st quarter already. Students will need to get any missing work turned in early next week. 
 
Junior parents - Students may be eligible for "early placement" for work at the end of their junior year if they maintain a 3.0 GPA and 95% attendance throughout the year.
 
Senior parents - Don't Blink!!! This week Graduate Services came to meet with most of our seniors about ordering their cap and gown. (Goshen, Madeira and Lynchburg-Clay work with another company). Orders are due December 1st. Time starts to fly by for seniors and I can't say this frequently enough: Students need to check their Live Oaks email AND their home school email every day so they don't miss important information. Students still graduate with their diploma from their home high school. We celebrate with a senior ceremony at NKU, but this is separate from graduation. We encourage students to participate in both.
 
It also seems like a great time to remind you to follow us on social media. We love to share a little glimpse of your student's days. They stay busy here, I promise! 
 
Have a great weekend!
Dr. Amy Crouse
Dean of Instruction

INVEST IN OUR STUDENTS' FUTURE

Great Oaks Career Campuses do not charge tuition or school fees as part of our mission to make career technical education more widely available. Other than uniforms, there are no costs to participate in our programs. This year, instead of asking for traditional school fees as required at your home schools, we're
inviting you to invest directly in something that makes a real impact—our Career
& Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs).

These student-led organizations develop leadership, technical skills, and real-world readiness that prepare our students for college and careers. From competitions to community servlce to professional development, your support fuels everything we do.
