Todos los padres y tutores de los alumnos actuales son miembros de la Asociación de Padres y Tutores (PGA). La PGA desempeña un papel activo en la organización de voluntarios para las actividades del aula y de la escuela; facilitando la comunicación entre los padres, los profesores y la administración; proporcionando educación a los padres; fomentando un sentido comprometido e inclusivo de la comunidad; y promoviendo el acercamiento a nuestros vecinos.
Live Oak parents and guardians are part of our learning community, taking part in project showcases during the school day, experiential education trips, and impactful service events. Our families lead affinity groups centered around building cultural connections. Visiting authors, researchers, and consultants engage with our parents and guardians to share their expertise and further our collective knowledge. Grade Level Roundtables offer a chance for parents to discuss age-appropriate developmental characteristics and parenting strategies. SPEAK, led by a consortium of independent schools, hosts educational events throughout the year, for our families and faculty. Everyone is a life long learner at Live Oak.

Heads' Space–Growing Up Series Part 2: Fostering Skills for Social and Academic Learning
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.195 De Haro Street -

Family Affinity Groups
Live Oak families build community by forming affinity groups and hosting events throughout the year that celebrate and share their diverse cultures and identities. These groups bring together students, parents and guardians, and faculty and staff in inclusive spaces of joyful gathering around important cultural traditions, holidays, and histories. Affinity groups can change and evolve based on the engagement of the school community. Some examples of affinity groups in recent years include the African American Affinity Group, Asian American Pacific Islander Affinity Group, Arab American Affinity Group, Conexiones Latinx Affinity Group, Jewish Affinity Group, Neurodiverse Learners Affinity Group, Pride Affinity Group, and the South Asian Affinity Group.
Parent/Guardian Enrichment
Live Oak offers a range of enrichment events throughout the year for parents and guardians to stay abreast on current trends in education, hear from experts in the education and child development fields, and engage with peers around ways to best support their child's learning and social-emotional growth. Live Oak has created its own signature series of parent and guardian enrichment events that help connect families to the School's strategic academic initiatives through sessions with administrative leadership. This series supplements other parent/guardian enrichment opportunities like the ISACS Parent Series virtual webinars and the SPEAK SF series of expert presenters.
Family Service Initiatives
Throughout the year, Live Oak families engage in a variety of service projects and activities that bring the entire Live Oak community together as changemakers in support of the Potrero Hill neighborhood and broader city of San Francisco. Among the numerous service initiatives is the annual Family Service Night that is dedicated to supporting local nonprofits through activities like book donations, creating baby blankets for the Homeless Prenatal Program, making toys for the animals at the San Francisco Animal Care & Control, creating greeting cards for Meals on Wheels, and more. In addition, each grade level takes a turn volunteering to serve monthly dinners at Family House SF and parent and guardian volunteers have spearheaded newer family-oriented projects like preparing and donating bag lunches through a partnership with The Lunchmakers.
Grandparents & Special Friends Day
Each spring, Live Oak opens its doors to welcome the special people in our students’ lives on Grandparents & Special Friends Day. This tradition has long been a way for our students to share about their school days, introduce their teachers and peers, and give their special guests a glimpse into the numerous ways they have been learning and growing throughout the year. Grandparents & Special Friends Day helps develop meaningful connections within the broader Live Oak community that help add depth to our students’ school experience.
Alrededor del mundo del roble vivo
Around the Live Oak World is a schoolwide celebration of culture, identity, and community. Each fall the Parent Guardian Association teams with Live Oak's Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee to put on this event in appreciation of the rich cultures and family traditions at our school. The afternoon features a cross-community potluck, music, crafts, games, clothes, stories, and food celebrating the diversity of families, cultures, and identities at Live Oak. Families volunteer to contribute a variety of regional and global foods, lead a culturally significant arts and crafts activity, teach a dance, and so much more. Around the Live Oak World represents a truly collective celebration of our rich cultural connections.
