Can you believe that we only have 9 “wake ups” before the first day of school? Excitement is in the air, and we are all anxiously waiting to kickoff our school year on Monday, August 17th at 8 am. I enjoyed visiting with our new families on Thursday at our new student orientation, and seeing some of you at our parent meeting about Tips for a Successful Learning Environment. By clicking the buttons below, you can view the information that was covered. There is also a helpful Q&A document that we created from all of the great questions that we had before and during our meeting.

I just wanted to take a moment to explain when you will find out your child's teacher for the upcoming school year. If you chose face to face learning environment, then your child's teacher will be available on Monday, August 10th by 5 pm through PowerSchool. For students who chose virtual learning in Kindergarten - 2nd grade, you can also determine your child's teacher on Monday by 5 pm. For students who chose virtual learning in grades 3 and 4, we are still working with the other campuses to determine your child's teacher. This information will be available by Wednesday, August 12th. For our 3rd and 4th graders who chose Virtual Learning for the Meet 'N Greet, we will have our students pick up their supplies from Mrs. Burkhart, 3rd grade, or Mrs. Berry-Dozier, 4th grade, who will be our virtual teachers from Lovejoy Elementary.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me or call me at anytime.

 

Technology Request - LAST CHANCE

Please take a few minutes and complete the following link LES Fall 2020 Tech Survey/Request Form to let us know if your child will need technology for the upcoming school year. The window will close on Sunday, August 9th at 5:00 pm. Technology pick up will be Tuesday at the Leopard Drive Thru Meet and Greet.

Join us on Tuesday, August 11th for our Leopard Drive Thru Meet 'N Greet & Supply Pick Up.

Please note that your child will have a designated window to participate in the drive thru.

This is a chance for your student(s) to meet his/her teacher and classmates via Zoom and for parents to receive more information about the upcoming school year. Please join us on Zoom on Thursday, August 13th at the following times: Kindergarten - 5:00; First Grade - 5:30; Second Grade - 6:00; Third Grade - 6:30; Fourth Grade - 7:00. Teachers will be sending the Zoom Link directly to you through email and passing out more information at the Leopard Drive Thru.

I am so looking forward to seeing everyone in September and just wanted to update you on medication drop off for the 2020-2021 school year and current immunization guidelines from the Texas Health Department.

We are planning a scheduled medication drop day prior to on campus learning to insure safety measures are met. I will be sending out the schedule closer to our start date.

The Texas Department of State Health Service requirements for immunizations will be as follows. Click here to view their website. Please make sure that your child's immunizations are current when returning to school, for virtual learners or in classroom the guidelines remain the same.

Please let me know if you have any questions, debbie_nash@lovejoyisd.net.

This year’s school supply list does not include headphones. Students will need to purchase headphones (no ear buds) for the beginning of school

SchoolPhones headphones were developed by a father whose son repeatedly destroyed headphones. They have excellent recording and audio quality and are protected under a one year warranty. You may purchase any headphones you wish, or you can order SchoolPhones here. The headphones will cost and additional $2.50 to ship directly to your home. The headphones will not be delivered to the school this year.
