PTA
The Live Oak Elementary School PTA is a very active group of parents and staff who find tremendous satisfaction and value in enriching the education and lives of all students. PTA has many events and programs planned throughout the year, and many people are needed to implement them. There are many ways you can help.. All parents are invited to come to our PTA meetings.
EMERGENCY INFORMATION
Emergency cards are sent home with students on the first day of school and must be returned the following day. The information on these cards is extremely important in the event of an emergency. All cards must have emergency contact persons listed in case we are unable to reach the parents. Incomplete emergency cards will be returned for further information.
It is important that these cards be kept current. Telephone the school office whenever there is a change in your home or work address or telephone number.
HEALTH INFORMATION
Students who become ill in class will be sent to the office and cared for by the nurse or a member of the office staff. It is very important that we have an emergency card on file for every student so that we may contact the parents in case of accident or illness and to be advised of special medical problems. Please update your child's emergency information each time a change occurs.
Medications
If it is necessary for your child to take medication at school (either prescription or nonprescription drugs), please be advised of the following legal requirements:
The school must receive a written statement from:
- the physician detailing the amount, time and method by which such medication is to be taken.
- the pupil's parents or guardians indicating permission for the school to assist the pupil in matters set forth in the physician's statement.
Medicines must be provided to the school in the original pharmaceutical container.
Printed forms for medication at school are available from the school secretary.
When a physician prescribes medication for your child, in so far as possible, please encourage dosage intervals which will not require the medication to be given during school hours.
DRESS CODE

Strapless tops, tank tops, tube tops, halter tops, bare midriff, shorts a length shorter than walking shorts, are not deemed to be appropriate.
