Distance Learners

Students must be in proper uniform and dress code. Students outside of dress code will not have their picture taken.

Sign-ups have been e-mailed to parents whose students are distance learners. If your scholar is distance learner and you did not receive an e-mail, please reach out to our Director of Campus Operations, Mrs. Bernal.
GHLO Business Owners in Family Directory
Calling all business owners!

We are putting together a GHLO family directory and would love to include our local family businesses.

Please e-mail our Director of Academy, Mrs. Villalvazo-Dick, with the business name and contact information to be included in the business directory.

Directory will be finalized and released after Thanksgiving break.
Veterans Day Virtual Assembly Video
For those who were unable to attend our Virtual Assembly in commemoration of our GHLO Veterans, please view the video below of the special day we celebrated this week.
Community Investment Video
Our Director of Academy Giving and Community Engagement, Mrs. Villalvazo-Dick, went live on Facebook Wednesday evening to give an overview of what the Community Investment campaign is and why is it crucial to the health of Great Hearts Live Oak. Please view the video below to learn more about how large our funding gap is, why we ask for parent support and how you can help!
GHLO Parent Book Club
We are excited to announce our inaugural “GHLO Parent’s Book Club.” This parent-led group is seeking to add a fun and simple way for our Live Oak parents to get to know each other better, as we read some of the classics that our students will be reading throughout the year.

Join the Facebook group for this “pick your own adventure” Book Club. Whether you just want to read the books by yourself, join the discussion on our page each month or even come along to a book club meeting in person (or on zoom!), we’ll keep you in the loop on our Facebook page.
November Parent Service Organization Meeting
Our next PSO meeting will be on Wednesday, November 18th at 6 PM. There will be monthly PSO meetings on a rotating schedule to provide members with differentiating schedules opportunities to participate.
