SCIS Parents,
I know my three kiddos are looking forward to traveling to Michigan over the break to see our family and hopefully do some sledding. Our youngest, Genevieve (3) has never seen snow so were looking forward to those new experiences at Grandpa and Gramma's house.
I hope that your family has a safe and relaxing holiday break. I especially appreciate our parents who chose not to check their kids out early for an extended vacation beyond the 8 day break. This not only helps our attendance and funding but equally important is that student do not miss a day of learning. Friday will be a normal day of learning at SCIS, thank you having your student here each day of school.
I hope you will watch the video above regarding the following details:
1. Fine Arts Festival
On Friday November 30th and Saturday December 1st we having our district fine arts festival at LHS. Please look for communication from your child's Fine Arts Teacher for the details.

Adopt a Lovejoy Family
We are so thankful to have such wonderful families here in Lovejoy ISD. Anytime we ask for help you deliver. We are looking for current Lovejoy Families who would like to extend a warm welcome to families new to Lovejoy.
As you all know, moving to a new place whether it be a new school, district, or state can be a daunting task. There are many new things to navigate. We are looking for families who would be willing to serve as a resource for new families by "adopting" a new family and helping them find their way in the community. This could be by helping steer them in the right direction and through any unfamiliar territory, or by just helping them broaden their contacts. Since you have been in the community and your children have been in Lovejoy ISD, we are considering that you are the experts that just might be able to help with the transition for our new families. If you are interested please click the link below.
