MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN

Happy Friday, Live Oaks Families,
Congratulations to our Live Oaks Wolfpack teams for an incredible performance last weekend at All Service Nationals in Molena, GA. In spite of a 9 hour bus ride, some pretty rustic camping and some freezing water....Both our All-Male and All-Female team brought home NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS!! Our co-ed team came in an impressive 5th place, as well. They are truly just built different!!! The Wolfpack is made up of students from Live Oaks and students as young as 8th grade from Milford. We are incredibly proud of how hard they work. 
 
We need your assistance! Great Oaks Career Campuses receives approximately $1.8 million a year in federal funds for Career Technical Education (CTE) through the Carl D. Perkins Act (commonly known as Perkins V). Per the Perkins V guidelines, we must seek stakeholder feedback on a regular basis to help inform our work with career technical programs. Please take a moment to provide your thoughts on CTE programming at Great Oaks HERE*. 

Thank you for taking the time to provide your input!

Have a great weekend!

SCHOOL CLOSING NOTIFICATIONS

We want to make sure you're well-informed in the event of a school closure, such as those due to inclement weather. Knowing where to look for official announcements will help keep everyone safe and minimize confusion.

How We Notify You of a Closure
If Live Oaks Career Campus must close, we will send out notifications using these methods:
  • ParentSquare (Primary Method): This is our most direct and fastest communication channel. You'll receive a notification immediately.
  • School Website: Check the homepage for an alert or banner announcement.
  • Local News Stations: The closure will be reported through local television and radio outlets.
To ensure you get the quickest notification of any school closure, please take a moment to verify that you are actively receiving notices from us via ParentSquare.
  • If you're not receiving them, or are unsure, please log into your account or contact the school office for assistance.
  • Ensuring your contact information is up-to-date in ParentSquare is the most effective way to stay informed.
Inclement Weather Note
If the closure is due to inclement weather, please remember:
  • Follow your student's affiliated high school's closure/delay announcements.
  • If Live Oaks remains open but your student cannot attend, please contact their instructors for assignment updates.
Your cooperation in keeping your contact information current helps us keep everyone safe and informed!

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.
