A Message from the Principal
 
Lovejoy HS News 07 30 18

P arents and Guardians,

As we begin the final week of July, I can't believe that students will be starting back to school in less than a month.  Teachers have been at LHS over the past week attending professional development opportunities at Learning @ Lovejoy, and we are all anticipating getting to see students and putting the things we are learning into practice.  
 
Below, you will find some more information about upcoming dates, events, as well as some adjusting of staffing responsibilities to better support you and your students. 
 
Have a great week!
 
Sincerely,

Chris Mayfield
Principal
Lovejoy High School

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're 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 for your generosity.

Rev Prep Summer Webinars
Rev Prep is having a free informative summer webinar series. Click here for their schedule.

If your student needs a VOE for drivers' ed courses or renewing their license, please come to the front office from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, and we'll be happy to provide one.
 
New Student Enrollment
New student enrollment dates are August 7th, 9th and 16th. To make an appointment, please contact Gina Ellis at 469-742-8711.
 
Schedule Changes
The deadline for schedule change requests was in June and the AP Drop Deadline has passed, so NO requests are being taken at this time.
