A Message from the  Superintendent



Dear Lovejoy Community:

Over the next two weeks, we will be revamping the format for Email Express. We will continue to work to include all-important information as well as student recognitions. In addition, I am adding my Twitter account as a source of real time information. Follow me on Twitter: @TedRedBuilding

 
In addition to important information, I will use Twitter to share information such as:
  • Emergency information such as weather warnings and security concerns
  • School closings due to inclement weather
  • All last minute changes to events/meetings including times, locations and cancellations
Follow me @TedRedBuilding. My goal is to reach 1,000 followers by December 2018.


Learning @ Lovejoy



Learning @ Lovejoy, our annual professional development conference for educators is well underway at Lovejoy High School. It's great to have our staff members on campus engaged in the highest quality of professional learning which will directly benefit the students of Lovejoy and beyond.

Tuition-Based Enrollment
