Community  Teams & Circles

TIDE LO // Team for Inclusivity, Diversity and Equity

oTIDE LO is a group of parents who are passionate about our Live Oak community being an inclusive, diverse and equitable community where we all feel like we belong. We are not experts in these challenging topics but are committed to having brave conversations from a curious, open hearted and caring place. Come join our bi-monthly meetings, get to know other parents who are interested in these topics and learning how to create a community of belonging. See Calendar for dates. ​ ​Contact: Elizabeth Theriault

Tech Wise Parent Posse

The Tech Wise Parent Posse is a group of Live Oak parents who are all just trying to figure out how to thoughtfully engage with technology and media with their families. No judgments, no kool aid, just understanding, questions, discussion and support. We focus on developing skills that are appropriate for our own homes, and alternatives to tech when we choose to use them. Meets once every few months. There will be tea and snacks. Contact: Alessa
