SchoolMessenger will be configured to send text messages to your wireless phone number(s), with your approval. Please confirm we have your accurate wireless phone number in the PowerSchool Parent Portal and then opt-in to participate by following the directions below.
In order to receive messages from Lovejoy ISD or your student's school via SMS text we must have your wireless number(s) in SchoolMessenger and receive an "Opt-In Confirmation" from your wireless device.
You can easily opt-in by simply sending "Y" (or "Yes"), via text message, to our SchoolMessenger Short Code number 67587.
The wireless number(s) you enter into the PowerSchool Parent Portal are updated nightly. If you update your wireless number, or add a new number, in the PowerSchool Parent Portal, the new number will automatically be sent an Opt-In message.

Bus Routes
The Lovejoy ISD Transportation Staff are working diligently to complete bus routes for the 2017-2018 school year. All routes are expected to be completed and available by noon on August 15, 2017. After 12:00 PM on August 15th, you may look up your bus number and bus stop times, by your physical street address at the following link: Lovejoy ISD Bus Route Finder
If you no longer need bus service, please email [email protected] with your student's name, student ID, and grade level.
Please be reminded, once routes have been updated and posted on August 15th, pickup and drop-off times are estimates. After the first two-weeks of school, ridership and traffic patterns will start to normalize.
School Supplies
Compiling a list of common items needed for Lovejoy High School is a bit difficult considering the diversity of classes that a typical student can take. Knowing that many of you may want to shop for school supplies before you receive the complete list from teachers on the 1st day of school, we invite you to click SUPPLIES to consult a spreadsheet that details what items are needed for each department. Please note that there are 5 tabs, one for each of the core subjects: English, Math, Science, Social Studies, and LOTE.
