A Message from the  Superintendent


Dear Lovejoy Community:

Lovejoy ISD will be closed for summer break the weeks of June 25th and July 2nd. We will reopen on Monday, July 9th. As many of you know, my wife and I spend this time in South Padre with our children and grandchildren. While I am looking forward to being with our family, please know you may still reach me by cell phone. If I may be of any assistance to you during the time of our break, please call or text at 972.415.8129.


Safety and Security



We will present a safety/security report tonight at the Board of Trustees meeting, which will include our recommendations for the 2018-2019 school year and beyond. You are welcome to attend the meeting, which will occur at 7:30 PM in the Lovejoy ISD Administration Board Room.



School Finance -  Share the News: 
Tuition-Based Enrollment
 for Out-of-District Families



School finance and the loss of state funding continues to be an important area of focus as we work to maintain all of the programs which make Lovejoy special. Our K - 12 tuition-based enrollment program is a great opportunity for increased district revenue and a great opportunity for families who live outside of our district boundaries, but want their children to experience a Lovejoy education. Will you help us share the news? Interested families may contact Stacey Dillon for additional information or to schedule a tour of our campuses.


 

Tuition-Based Pre-K
Enrollment Open for 2018-2019



Lovejoy ISD is accepting applications for tuition-based Pre-Kindergarten. This comprehensive program is staffed by certified teachers and is housed on the Puster Elementary School campus. Enrichment offerings include music, fitness, art, library, science, technology, engineering, and math. We are proud to provide a Lovejoy education for community members seeking a rich learning experience, which will provide a firm foundation for kindergarten and beyond.

Each year, members of the Cross Country and Track team head to New Mexico for high-altitude training and team building.
