When it comes to navigating social media, online games, smart phones, and the Internet, it's best for kids to get their information from a trusted source. With92 percent of teens going online daily and nearly three-quarters of kids age 1-8 using apps it is important to teach our kids to be safe, responsible, and ethical not only in the real world, but in the digital world as well. When kids are given a solid foundation in understanding how to behave, both online and off, much of the misuse and abuse of technology can be prevented.
We all want our kidos to be safe, responsible, and respectful digital citizens. These 21st-century skills are essential for students to harness the full
potential of technology for learning, and we encourage you to engage in conversations with your child about making wise choices in their digital lives
.
We will continue learning about internet safety and netiquette during guidance this month.
There are also many great resources online where you can educate yourself and your child on the
best practices with technology usage. A few that you might find useful are:
As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

Flu Season Reminders/Illness:
We are now having students with confirmed cases of Flu (mostly Flu type A). The most common symptoms are stomach ache, fever, headache, and tired-ness. If you take your child into the doctor for flu-like symptoms, please tell the physician that Flu cases are on the rise at school and they may want to Flu swab your child for appropriate diagnosis.
Frequent handwashing is vital to keeping this illness at bay. Now is a good time to review proper handwashing practices with young children. Using soap and rubbing vigorously under running water for about 30 seconds to one minute is
important to get rid of the germs that cause the flu. Asking young
children to "sing the ABCs" at a steady rate while washing will help
them reach the 30 second mark. We are also asking for donations of disinfectant wipes for the school. Please drop them off at the front office.
If your child needs to be picked up due to illness, please pick them up within 30 minutes. We understand there may be circumstances that may arise in which this is not possible. If this is the case, please reach out to your emergency contact to arrange pick up of your ill child.
As always please keep children at home if they have flu-like symptoms
or are running a fever. We ask that children be free from fever for 24
hours before returning to school to prevent illnesses from spreading. If your child is absent from school, written documentation is needed. Please email Alis_Brantl@lovejoyisd.net and Heather_Bouska@lovejoyisd.net with the date and reason for the absence. Thanks for all you do at home to keep your children healthy and in school.
Please remember, if your little ones have had diarrhea, fever greater than 100 (without medications), or vomiting they must be out of school for a full 24 hours so that we can help keep protect others.

The Hart PTA is so excited to welcome Team Big Air to our gym Friday, March 8th. We are able to offer this assembly thanks to all your generous PTA donations at the beginning of the school year.
Team Big Air has been performing a unique combination of basketball and acrobatics for more than a decade. The team has entertained at half-time for every NBA team as well as more than 200 colleges and in more than 20 foreign countries. In addition to this awesome show, they will teach an ICARE message to our kids. Topics will include how being a good classmate is like being a good teammate, how important a good attitude is, how important it is to be kind and respectful, and much more!
Team Big Air will perform in the gym on March 8th at 9am for Kindergarten through 2nd grade and 10am for 3rd and 4th graders.
Thank you Hart parents for making this possible!
