"Want to knock out teacher gifts faster than you can write a list of
Spalding words three times?"
Contribute to the Snowflake Fund and quickly give to all the Great Hearts teachers and staff that provide your child with a wonderful, classical education.
If you’re ready to check those gifts off your list, the Snowflake Fund is now accepting contributions through:
|
|
Venmo – @GHL-SnowflakeFund
Zelle – 817-709-1200
PayPal.me/snowflakefund

|

Prefer to write a check? Snowflake Committee members will be collecting checks on December 8 in the afternoon carpool line. Look for the parents with snowflake buckets & bandanas. Checks should be made out to Great Hearts Lakeside Snowflake Fund. No cash is accepted!
Students are collecting coins to participate in the generosity. Let your scholars join in by earning a little money or searching for loose change this weekend to gift to their teachers through the Snowflake Fund. Generosity Jars are in every classroom and students who contribute get a super cool sticker.
The Snowflake Fund collects money from Great Hearts families to give to teachers, teachers’ assistants and staff as a holiday gift. Money is collected through December 11 and then divided evenly and distributed to faculty and staff members of Great Hearts Lakeside the week before Winter Break. More information at tiny.cc/SnowflakeFund."

A few reminders--you have two options at drop off.
1) Drive all the way through carline to drop off in front of the school or
2) Park off campus to walk your child across Harris Parkway, all the way up to the front door.
Scholars should not be dropped off on Harris Parkway or in the parking lot to cross carline traffic. This is for efficiency and most importantly, for scholar safety.
|
|
If you walk up to the building for pick-up. Please be mindful of others and practice social distancing and wear a face covering.
|
|
|
|
Dress your scholar warmly! We are making every effort to take our scholars outside everyday.
Remember that scholars may wear any color coat, jacket, scarf or gloves outside that has no pop culture references.
Sweaters or fleeces worn inside the classroom must be uniform with the Great Hearts logo. Scholars may also wear long-sleeved undershirts or turtlenecks in white, navy or black. In addition, young ladies may wear white or navy tights beneath their skirts and jumpers.
|
|
 |
Masks should be plain in color or have a non-representational pattern that is repetitive.
Masks must not have any words or messages printed on them.
Masks cannot have any symbols on them, so masks with crayons, superhero logos, or American flags are not acceptable.
|
|
|
|
Shoes must be all black or all white, including the sole. High tops are not allowed.
Belts are required for all students wearing shorts or pants in first grade and above.
Please remember the pop culture policy. All lunch boxes, water bottles and backpacks must be devoid of popular culture references. Generic images of flowers, spaceships, mermaids, dinosaurs are acceptable.

For any further questions about the uniform, click HERE to review the uniform policy. The policy applies each and every day of school. Any student who is in violation of the uniform policy will receive an infraction. After 5 uniform infractions, an after school detention will be issued.

Great Hearts Lakeside partners with Preferred Meals for our breakfast and lunch program. All meals are paid for through My Mealtime, and students purchase their meal with their assigned ID number.
If you wish to purchase a meal for your scholar, first set up an account on Mealtime.
- Your scholar will be able to purchase a meal as long as there is a balance on his or account, and you do not have to notify the school ahead of time regarding what days he or she will eat lunch or breakfast.
If you do not know your lunch number, Add 00 to the 4 digits of your scholar's Google credentials.
- For example, if the Google credentials were d.ogden1234, the MealTime ID number would be 001234.
If you believe that your scholar will qualify for the Free and Reduced Lunch program, please use the links below to apply.
We will provide a lunch if your scholar does not have one. Please keep your account current. After your account has reached a balance of -$40.00, we will provide a substitute meal until your account is up to date.
Distance learning families can continue to pick up food by week as we have done for the past few weeks. A Sign-Up Genius was sent out within the last week to those who to wish to participate.
This program is optional. Scholars are more than welcome to bring their own lunch from home. Refrigeration and microwaves are not available. We ask that you refrain from sending soda.

Register for the Athenaeum After-School Program! |
|
Athenaeum is our after-school program for grades K-5. Athenaeum is focused on the liberal arts and promotes learning by providing students dedicated homework time in addition to enriching and academically oriented activities. Scholars also have time for snack, games and recreation, and time to socialize with friends.
The Athenaeum After-School Program has resumed since in-person learning is taking place.
For more information and to register, visit our academy website and click on Academy Life
-->After School Programs.

All students MUST be picked up by 4:10 PM unless they are enrolled in an after school activity. After 4:10 PM (2:10 PM on early release days), parents of students who have not been picked up will be called by the school administration. Late pick-up will be administered by Athenaeum and a charge of $1 per minute will be incurred. Parents arriving after 4:10 PM (2:10 PM early release) will need to park and sign their child out.
All students should be picked up within 10 minutes of the end of practice or club. Any student still waiting will fall under the above policy. Siblings of students in clubs and sports must be picked up before 4:10 PM, may enroll in Athenaeum or incur the late charge.

Finally, familiarize yourself with the 2020-2021 Family Handbook. Whenever you have questions about procedures, policies, or any sentence beginning with "How would the school handle...?" the Family Handbook is the place to start.
