Dear Lovejoy Families,
Can you believe we only have 4 more wake-ups until Christmas Break? And, the first semester is coming to a close. I am incredibly proud of all of our students and teachers for their hard work and dedication this semester. With all of the changes this year. our students and staff have persevered and shown such growth.
Next week, on Tuesday, we will have a school-wide pajama day! We can't wait to see our face to face and our virtual learners in their very best pajamas! On Thursday, we will be having our Christmas party for all of our learners. Unfortunately, we can not have any visitors to attend this event. Our virtual learners need to read below for details on picking up their party supplies! As a reminder, we will have early release on Thursday, December 17th at 12:00 pm. If you look at the calendar, you will notice it shows early release starting Monday. This is only for the high school to accommodate their exam schedule.
I hope that you have an amazing weekend. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.
All My Best,
Wendy Craft

Athletic Tickets
There has been some confusion in regards to ticket sales, as in the past all students and staff have been allowed in free to all athletic contests (with school ID). Due to UIL covid-19 attendance capacity limitation regulations we are forced to charge for entrance to all athletic contests for all staff and students. The tickets sales assist the athletic department in keeping with the capacity limitations required of us. If you have questions, please contact the Lovejoy Athletic Office.
