Live Oak Elementary provides a structured learning environment
with a well-balanced educational program that includes all
curriculum areas. Students are expected to work to the best of
their abilities. Our school has a high level of classroom
instructional technology, including computers in every classroom
with Internet access, instructional software, and printer. In
addition, each classroom is equipped with a Smart Board and
digital overhead projector, providing access to big screen
visual instructional strategies for all curriculum areas. Through access to computer technology, our students will become
computer literate by having instruction in word processing,
keyboarding, and/or various programs reinforcing skills in all
academic subject areas. All students are also encouraged to
participate in our Accelerated Reader program to enhance reading
skills and increase reading levels in all students.
Grading and Report Cards
Teachers utilize a variety of assessments to report individual
academic progress and achievement. Some of the assessments used
include district wide assessments (OARS), curriculum embedded
assessments, teacher-developed assessments, California English
Language Development Test (CELDT), and the California Standards
Test (CST). Parents should expect a progress report after the
end of the first six weeks of each trimester (mid-September,
mid-January and end of April). A report card is sent home at the
end of each trimester (every 12 weeks). The first report card is
given to each parent during parent conferences. At this time,
parents are notified if students are at risk of retention due to
low academic performance.
