Dear Live Oaks Families,
We are in the home stretch now as today marked the last day of the 3rd quarter. Spring Break starts on Friday, March 27 and students return on Monday, April 6. Our team will be meeting next week to identify any student in danger of failing or graduating and communicate with families and home schools. We will also be providing a list of highest achieving juniors for lab instructors to consider professionalism and possible early job placement.
One of the best features of Live Oaks is the flexibility we can provide seniors to cater their schedule to meet their needs with work and late arrival. However, this makes communicating with them a great challenge. We are in need of individual photos for students for our senior ceremony from nearly half of the class. If we don't have one after spring break, we will use their ID photo. That's not a problem other than they may wish to have something different on the jumbotron. Where to upload: clink this link or email dicarlo.shawna@greatoaks.com.
Additionally, we will do group lab photos of next week for the senior yearbook. Any reminders you can provide are much appreciated.

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.
-
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!
