Happy Friday, Live Oaks Families,
Academic success, good attendance, and work ethic are important considerations for our lab instructors as they support student employability. Each quarter we publish attendance and honor roll data for each lab combining both the Level 1 and Level 2 together for a little positive competition.
For the 2nd quarter, our attendance leaders were:
-
1st Place: IT Academy and Career X - 70% of students with 93% attendance or better
-
2nd Place: Digital Arts and Design - 68.9%
-
3rd Place: Auto Tech. - 66.7%
Our 2nd quarter Honor Roll leaders were:
- Congratulations to Career X for 100% of students making the honor roll!!
-
1st Place: Health Tech A - 87% of students made the honor roll (and 66% made the Dean's List!!)
-
2nd Place: Veterinary Assist - 75%
-
3rd Place: Exercise Science - 73%
CTSO competitions continue. Watch our social media for photos, updates and celebrations. There were more local SkillsUSA competitions in Auto Collision and Culinary in the past week. BPA had regionals last weekend and we have several students advancing to state. HOSA competitions just finished phase one of their regional competitions. Every one of the CTSOs operates differently and even the labs within a CTSO have different venues and dates. I can NOT keep track of it all, but I can tell you that the students demonstrate a pride in their work that impresses the heck out of me. I wish I could bottle the energy they have when they invite me to watch and find me to share their results.
Thank you, again, for sharing your amazing students with us! I really do enjoy them!
Dr. Amy Crouse
Dean of Instruction

BPA: Congratulations to our Regional winners on their incredible performance!
-
SkillsUSA: Great job to our Culinary students on their successful local competitions!
-
HOSA: Best of luck to our competitors advancing to Round Two on January 30th!
We are so proud of your hard work and professional growth.

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.

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.

-
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!
