Happy Friday, Live Oaks Families,
Time sure flies! The middle of the 1st quarter is already next Friday, September 18. Teachers will not accept late work from the first half of the quarter after that date. Please encourage your student to check their Progressbook daily to ensure they are on track with all assignments.
Student badges have finally been delivered to students and must be worn at all times. Students need them to use the copier, scan for lunch and to enter the building if they arrive after 7:50. All exterior doors are locked and student badges are coded to allow them to enter specific doors during scheduled times. In the event a student loses their badge, it will be disabled and replaced once free of charge. Any future replacements will cost $5.00.
There is a LOT going on in your students' worlds - which means you all are trying to juggle all those happenings. Please make sure your students follow communication from their high school as well as Live Oaks. Your student is still encouraged to attend high school events, and that information comes directly from the high school. Every high school operates a little differently. For instance, some schools come to Live Oaks to sell homecoming dance tickets and others require them to be purchased at the high school. Some schools provide transportation to pep rallies and others do not. We communicate what we hear about, but we are not the best source of information about individual high school events.
Parent Teacher conferences are coming up on October 1 and we will get you that sign-up link next Wednesday. There will also be a college fair on our campus that evening.
Have a great weekend!
Dr. Amy Crouse
Dean of Instruction
