Dear Hart Families,
The window for selecting your Quarter 2 learning environment is now open in PowerSchool for those who want to make a change to their current selection. No change is necessary if you are staying with your current learning environment. Scroll down on the left column to "2020-2021 Learning Environment." The selection window will remain open from 9/14-9/28. The second quarter begins on October 12th.
The back-to-school enrollment forms for the 2020 - 2021 school year are ready for parents to update! . You will access the enrollment forms in your PowerSchool Parent Portal - left navigation panel - "Enrollment & Student Forms." Please complete and update each form in that section of PowerSchool.
Please remember school starts at 7:55. Students need to be in class by that time. School doors are open for drop off at 7:30. Dismissal time is still 3:10.
Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions, comments or concerns.
With a full HeART,
Lacey Moser

Please take a moment to login to School Dismissal Manager (SDM). We ask that you review your student(s) default dismissal. The default dismissal is how your student will be dismissed everyday. An exception is used when there is a change to a certain days dismissal. If the default dismissal is incorrect please email Heather Bouska (heather_bouska@lovejoyisd.net). Changes to the default dismissal can only be done by the office. Parents are to make exception changes to dismissal as the situations arise. Please make dismissal exception changes by 2:00 p.m. daily.
Here are a few Fast Facts that you will need to know for getting started:
1. Please use this website to log in to SDM at www.schooldismissalmanager.com. The initial login is best completed from a computer as opposed to your phone.
2. The Parent Login area is found at the top right of the SDM homepage.
3. When you log in for the first time, you will be required to change your password immediately.
5. As you begin to use School Dismissal Manager, if you have questions, please check the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) link found in the Parent login area at the top of the SDM homepage. Here, you will find answers to the most commonly asked questions. If your question remains unanswered after checking here, please contact the school office and we will be happy to assist you further.
6. When you start to receive the email notifications of changes or cancellations that are made for your child, please keep in mind that hitting Reply or Reply All on those emails does not reply to the school. If you need to respond to a notification (i.e., to inform the school it is incorrect, provide additional details, etc.) please call the school directly and talk with someone in the office.
7. Each school day, School Dismissal Manager will send a comprehensive dismissal report to the school immediately following the cut-off time, allowing administrators and staff to facilitate a smooth dismissal.

We now have 3 car rider dismissal locations. They are divided by color as well as last name. Students with the last name beginning A-G will dismiss from the south side door. South side door is the yellow location. Students with the last name beginning H-P will dismiss from the front door. The front door is the red location. Students with the last name beginning Q-Z will dismiss from the north side door. The north side door is the blue location. Please make sure your 2020-2021 car tag is visible in your vehicle. All students were issued a new car tag this year. Walkers will be dismissed from the north east playground door. Walkers are the green location. This location is the same as last year. Bus riders will dismiss from the front entrance. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to improve on dismissal. |

NEW!!! SEL with Mrs. Scoville
|
|
For the next two weeks in SEL we will be discussing with students their personal skills and interests they want to develop. We will also talk about using a growth mindset during this process. If you have any questions regarding SEL, please reach out to me.
Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns you may have.

Books continue to get in the hands of the kids each and every day from our library! This makes our reading HeARTS happy!
For the past two weeks, most students had a visit in the classroom from Mrs. Hart and/or Mrs. Wissman. PreK-1st were able to choose a book off of a mobile library cart full of picture books. 2nd - 4th graders are learning how to login to Destiny Discover and choose a book to place on hold. The books that have been "ordered" are currently being delivered to the students that are at school as fast as the orders can be fulfilled.
Virtual learners can still get books online and pick them up in the front vestibule M-F 8-4. You can return books in the vestibule at the same time.
Returning books: On campus learners are able to return books to the library bins located in the front of the library.

NEW!!! A word from Nurse Allison
|
|
If your student will be absent from school, please email Alis Brantl (alis_brantl@lovejoyisd.net) and Allison Wright (allison_wright@lovejoyisd.net).
Please watch this short video from Nurse Allison. She is providing us with helpful tips regarding proper hand sanitizer use.

Medications:
If your student has a prescription or over the counter medication that needs to be kept in the clinic during face to face instruction, there will be a designated time and date to get those dropped off at school.
The Medication, Emergency Action Plan (anaphylaxis/allergy), and the Asthma Action Plan forms can all be found here. Some of these forms must be signed by the child's physician as well as the parent, so you will need to fill these out ahead of time.
All medications must be in their original packaging (NO ziplock baggies) and not expired.
Prescription medications must have the proper label on the bottle or packaging and will have to be counted with the parent dropping the medication off.
Immunizations:
Please make sure you have provided the school with an up to date immunization form for your children. Please follow up with your child’s health care provider to make sure your child meets public school immunization requirements which can be found here.
Thank you!

Hello Hart Families,
Thank you SO much for donating all of the wonderful welcome signs! The teachers and staff felt the love!
We wanted to reach out with an update since PTO Hospitality looks a little different this year.
So far we have provided the teachers and staff individually wrapped breakfast tacos on the 1st day of on campus learning, September 8. Boy did the sign drive welcome them back! Additionally each staff member received a mini hand sanitizer to give them a "hand" for the great job they do at Hart. On Friday, September 11 we provided Jason's Deli boxed lunches to teachers and staff.
Thank you for all of your support,
Dani Miller
PTO President

We’re excited to kick off our Annual Appeal campaign! Our goal is to raise $250,000 and have 40% community involvement. The students of Lovejoy ISD are touched by Foundation dollars in every school and grade throughout the district. Now, more than ever, they need our support to ensure no interruption to the Lovejoy standard of exceptional learning.
New this year, three giving options! Teacher Grant Fund, One Heart. One Lovejoy. Fund, or a 50/50 split. Visit our website today to learn more and donate!

Kids 1st registration is now open.
Due to limited staffing and the management of social distancing on each campus, we will be limiting the number of students accepted into the after school program. We will start off accepting 25 students on each campus and at this time will only be accepting full time tuition.
We will continue to monitor the situation and guidance from the CDC and HHSC and if we are able to add additional staff and students while still maintaining social distancing practices, I will send out a communication to let parents know.
