A Message from the Principal
 
Lovejoy HS News 07 30 19

P arents and Guardians,

I can't believe that we are in the final days of July and students will be starting back to school in less than three weeks!  I hope you and your student are having a great summer and that you make the most of what is left.   Christy and I have had a big summer of our own.  A couple of weeks ago we married off our oldest son Braxton (LHS Class of 2014) to an incredible young lady he met while at Oklahoma State.  There were lots of happy tears and we are excited to add Kaci to the Mayfield family.   

If you have driven by LHS over the past two week you may be wondering why we have so many cars parked in front of the school.  Those cars belong to LISD teachers who have been attending professional development opportunities at Learning @ Lovejoy.  It has been a great time of learning and all of us are anticipating getting to see students and putting that learning into practice.  
 
Below you will find some more information about upcoming dates, events, and start of school activities. 
 
Have a great week!

Sincerely, 

Chris Mayfield
Principal
Lovejoy High School

New! School Supplies
Compiling a list of common items needed for Lovejoy High School is a bit difficult considering the diversity of classes that a typical student can take. Knowing that many of you may want to shop for school supplies before you receive the complete list from teachers on the 1st day of school, we invite you to click SUPPLIES to consult a spreadsheet that details what items are needed for each department. Please note that there are 5 tabs, one for each of the core subjects: English, Math, Science, Social Studies, and LOTE.
While you are shopping for your school supplies, if you feel so inclined, we would welcome some contributions to a general supply of kleenex and hand sanitizer that can be shared campus-wide. We will place a collection box in the LHS Commons, and we appreciate your generosity.

New! Bus Information
The 2019-2020 bus route information will be finalized by August 7th. On or after this date, bus stop locations and times can be retrieved from the district's website at www.lovejoyisd.net under "Quick Links" or the "Transportation" section under Departments.

Class Rank on Transcript
Parents of Rising Seniors (Class of 2020):
 
Lovejoy ISD is a non-ranking district with the exception of the required Top 10%. Student transcripts are reported without rank, unless the student requests to have rank reported.  Once a student submits a request to report rank, the decision is considered final unless the student requests a review of their request for an exception to change their ranking status, and all subsequent transcripts will be printed displaying rank.
To request to report rank, please return this form to Mrs. Shaw-Cabrera before September 6, 2019 of the senior year.  If we do not receive the release form below, class rank will NOT be reported on the transcript per Board Policy EIC (Local).  Texas law requires top 10% designation be reported on the transcript.
All parents need to sign the Transcript Consent Form so that transcripts can be sent to colleges and
universities. The forms are available on Naviance or in the counseling office.


  Senior Ads
Class of 2020 parents: Senior ads for next year are on sale now. Please go to  2020seniorads.leopardyearbook.com  for ad purchasing information. All ad orders are due Friday, October 18.  We look forward to working with you!
