Great Hearts Live Oak is excited to host our first school Read-A-Thon! From March 22nd-April 6th, we will embark on a school-wide reading contest to see who can read the most minutes in two weeks! There will be fun prizes, friendly competition between classes, all while helping raise funds for our school!
More information will be sent home in your scholar's backpack when we return from spring break. If there are any parents or community members who would like to help us with the Read-A-Thon or have any ideas about how to make it extra special, please reach out to Mrs. Villalvazo-Dick!

LOST AND FOUND drive up will be March 18 and 19th from 8-10AM. Parents can drive up and park in the Visitor parking lot. The rolling rack and a table will be set up outside of the main lobby for easy access. Any items left after these dates will be donated to the PSO for resell.

The Texas Legislature will begin committee hearings in the coming weeks. It is crucial that we charter parents follow legislation that could impact our schools. Please sign up for parent advocacy updates through the Texas Public Charter School Association at the following link: https://txcharterschools.org/join-tpcsas-team-of-advocates/
-
Did you know some people don’t want families to have school choice? They oppose charters, and they flex their political muscle. Let’s show our political representatives that we charter parents stand for school choice and quality education by signing TPCSA’s online petition here. Stand strong for charters schools, and SHARE, SHARE, SHARE this petition with friends, family, and neighbors.
Your voice matters in the work for equitable and sustainable funding for charter schools.

Attendance Reminders
On Campus:
- Attendance is taken at 7:50am and 10am every day. If your child is not present for the 10am attendance, they will be marked absent for the day. If you can, please try to make outside appointments with this in mind.
-
Tardies: If your child arrives after 7:50am, or if they are late to class, they will receive a tardy. Our policy states that if a student receives 3 tardy infractions, they may be assigned a detention.
- Excuse Notes: Please bring in a doctor’s note or a parent excuse note when your child misses school. A doctor’s note prevents a late arrival from being counted as a tardy, and could potentially change the absence to a present, so it is vital that you turn them in when your child returns to school.
Distance Learners:
- Attendance: Your student will be counted present for the day if they attend a Zoom, submit work on Google Classroom, or answer the attendance question between the hours of 6am and midnight for the current day.
- Excuse Notes: Distance Learners still need to email a doctor’s or parent note if they will be absent for the day.
For ALL absences, or if you have any questions, please e-mail our registrar, Mrs. Hart.

For those interested, please sign-up if applicable or reach out to Mrs. Villalvazo-Dick for other volunteer opportunities.
