5th Grade Camp Cabin Mate Requests:

Your child will fill out a Cabin Friend Request Google form during Math class on October 5th. Please talk with them and have a plan before they fill out the form at school. The attached document is an optional planning tool that you can use as a family to discuss your child's choices. Your child may bring this completed planning tool to class to help them fill out the Google form on October 5th. Please know that they are only guaranteed to be paired with one of their friend choices. Cabin lists will be shared with your student at school on October 22nd. Due to the complexity of meeting all students' needs we will not be able to switch cabins once they are shared with students. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Planning Tool - Camp Cabin Request

Lunch Visitors Allowed Monday:

With the welcome addition of more comfortable temperatures, we are pleased to share with our community that we are updating campus protocols to allow for parents, guardians, and other visitors to join students for lunch outdoors.

Above and Beyond Awards:

I nominate Mrs. England:

So I reach out to Ms. England about some questions, she went above and beyond my expectations by helping me and guiding me to the correct resources she even sent an email for me to connect me with the appropriate people.Thank you!

I nominate Mrs. England:

Mrs. England goes above and beyond by giving the students second chances and giving them extra help if they don't understand something. Also, she is very patient and is an amazing teacher. The student love Mrs. England.

Would you like to give a SCIS staff member who went "Above and Beyond" for you or your child?

Dear Lovejoy ISD Families,

This year, all Lovejoy ISD parents are asked to complete the LISD Socioeconomic Information Form, regardless of socioeconomic need. State and federal funds are allocated to school districts based on this information.

If you have already completed this form for 2021-2022 you do not need to complete another form. However, if you have not completed this form for the 2021-2022 school year, please click Socioeconomic Information Form to download the form, complete one form per student and return it either to the campus PEIMS personnel or to PEIMS Coordinator, 259 Country Club Rd, Allen, TX 75002 by October 8, 2021.

If you prefer to complete the form on-line, please click On-line Socio Economic Information Form. We still require this to be completed for each student.

Please note that this form is not sent to the Texas Education Agency and that the income levels indicated for your family are not reported to the Texas Education Agency. Only the Economic Disadvantaged status of each student as determined by the information provided is reported to the Texas Education Agency.

Respectfully,

Laurie Tinsley, EdD

Assistant Superintendent of Student Services
