Big Give 2020 Re-cap
Dear GHLO Families & Friends,

Thank you for absolutely amazing participation yesterday during The Big Give 2020! We are overwhelmed with the results: 

Great Hearts raised a total of $190,271.43 for all five of our San Antonio schools and we surpassed our GHLO goal of $25,000 by hundreds of dollars!

We are so incredibly grateful and humbled by your support! We came in 1st Place for 'Most Raised' out of 472 participating non-profit organizations. We had 855 donors across all of our San Antonio schools and GHLO had the most families participate out of the Great Hearts network!

Our gifts were matched by both the Brackenridge Foundation and the BIG GIVE during the "Minute Matches" that many of our families strategically planned for! We received gifts from families, faculty, staff, vendors, friends and precious grandparents.

Great Hearts Live Oak Car emblems will be mailed out to the address on file of all participants who made a donation.

Thank you for making this day such a great success for our Inaugural Big Give at Great Hearts Live Oak! We appreciate your support and dedication to our schools education in the pursuit of Truth, Goodness and Beauty. Go Owls!
GHLO Facebook Live Tour!
One of the fun incentives about this year's Big Give was the opportunity for a Facebook Live tour of our campus if we reached our goal!

As mentioned, we reached our goal, so this morning at 11:00 AM, the long awaited tour came to fruition!

We had parents and scholars who tuned in to see what to expect as the phase-in plan of our school commences Monday.

For your convenience, view the whole tour below. Please keep in mind that this tour is not the official Great Hearts Live Oak virtual tour that will be coming soon to our website.
Absences during Distance Learning:
Absences: Parents/guardians must report any full-day absences during Distance Learning. Please contact D’Ann Hart if your child is sick and cannot attend Distance Learning for that day. If your child has already missed any days, please e-mail Mrs. Hart and attach any doctor’s notes, if applicable. 

Registration Paperwork
All students are required to have completed and accurate registration paperwork. Every parent/guardian must submit the following for every student:

  • Birth certificate
  • Social Security card
  • Proof of residency
  • Immunizations or packet signatures

If there are any missing forms or documents from our records, please bring them in as soon as possible. Our Registrar, Mrs. Hart will be accepting paperwork from 9:00am-2:30pm Monday to Friday in the front office. No appointment required. E-mail questions to dann.hart@greatheartsliveoak.org.
Join us for Virtual Coffee with the Headmaster!
A long-standing Great Hearts tradition, Coffee with the Headmaster is a monthly event for all parents to get to know Headmaster Audelo and for her to get to know you! We value your partnership with us during this time of distance learning and would love to meet all of you on Zoom. Grade levels are paired for different days, so please clicks below to reserve your spot.


If you have multiple children, feel free to choose one or sign up for each grade your students are in!
