Read-A-Thon starts on Monday! |
|
Hoot hoot, hooray! Read-A-Thon starts this Monday!
We are overjoyed to kick-off the first annual Great Hearts Live Oak Read-A-Thon event. The goal is simple: read as much as you can in the next two weeks! Reading is good for your heart, mind and spirit and will also help our school! All proceeds from this event will go towards purchasing classroom sets of classical readers at the lexile level of the class. Check out the video from Headmaster Audelo sharing why she's excited for the Read-A-Thon and what her favorite books were as a young scholar!

Many of our students have already activated their accounts and are ready to go! We are striving for 100% participation, so make sure to activate your account today. Help us reach GHLO's goal of 168,000 minutes by April 5th! Don't forget that all minutes read during school count towards the Read-A-Thon, so all students will have minutes everyday!
We are accepting donations of gently used non-pop culture books from any families who would like to contribute to GHLO's version of the "Little Free Library." All donated books will be at the front of the school by the Read-A-Thon scoreboard for students to take and leave books during the two-week competition. Feel free to send books with your scholars for others to enjoy!
Happy Reading, Owls!

- THANK YOU to all the parents who submitted online comments in support of HB1348, which prohibits cities and municipalities from discriminating against charter schools. This critical bill passed out of committee and is headed to the calendars committee, who will schedule it for a vote on the House floor in the coming weeks.
-
The Texas Legislature has begun 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.
