Calendar

These parent enrichment opportunities with the Head of School and Associate Head of School are intended to build trust and transparency by giving families direct access to school leadership's vision in leading school priorities and maintaining a pulse on how families are experiencing school life. They reinforce the partnership between home and school by affirming that parents and guardians are active stakeholders in their child's education and by helping to align expectations around academic, social, and community. The sessions will help parents and guardians understand school decisions and help the school leadership understand family needs. We expect to strengthen the Live Oak School community by ensuring our school leadership is visible, approachable, and responsive throughout the year.

Featuring: Sarah Ward, Executive Functioning Expert

As school begins, we focus on giving students the right tools—planners, folders, schedules, and routines—to set them up for success. What if these tools aren’t the starting point? What if they depend on executive function skills that many students are still developing? We will shift from tools to the underlying skills students need to successfully “do school.” Gain a deeper understanding of executive function skills—such as working memory, time awareness, task initiation, and organization—and why challenges in these areas can make even the best systems fall apart. Explore how everyday school demands—getting out the door with materials, recording and completing homework, managing time across the day, and following through independently—require more than reminders and checklists. Learn strategies to help start the school year strong.
