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.

After selecting "Bus Routes 2019-2020", a new screen will appear where you enter your address in the search box and select 'Search'. Route information will appear, including the stop location and times, along with a map. Bus stop information will only display for students who have requested bus transportation through PowerSchool.

If your student is a returning student and rode the bus last year, their PowerSchool account should already be marked "yes" for bus transportation. PowerSchool transportation choices from last year will roll over to this year. When PowerSchool is open to parents, please review your Transportation "yes" or "no" choice for 2019-2020 to make sure the correct one is selected. It is extremely important that this information is correct so we know how many students will need bus service. If your student will NOT ride the bus, please make sure the transportation choice is marked "no" for the 2019-2020 year so we have an accurate count of how many will ride the buses.

If your student is new this year, and would like your child to ride the bus, this is done through PowerSchool under the "Enrollment & Student Forms" section. Detailed instructions on requesting bus service, and Transportation Policies & Procedures are available on the district's website under "Departments" and selecting Transportation.

SNACKS & WATER BOTTLE

We encourage students to bring a water bottle and snack to school.  Students will be allowed to eat their snack at anytime during the school day.

FIRST DAY PROCEDURES

We will have all students report directly to their first period class upon arrival the first day of school.  Teachers will be in their classrooms to greet their students. Beginning the second day, students report to the cafeteria. At 7:35, the bell will ring and release students to their first period class.

CHANGES & REMINDERS: 

• You must have your driver's license to check into the building, or check out your student.

• Sign up for the Principal Message on the Lovejoy ISD homepage. 

• Lockers numbers and combinations can be found in PowerSchool and will be printed on the student's schedule.  

• Please remember that we have limited parking.  Therefore, we would appreciate if your family brought one car to our events.

• Those wanting to join their child/children for lunch are welcome but we are respectfully requesting that lunch guests allow us this first week to review expectations and procedures.  Thanks in advance!

TRAFFIC FLOW MAP FOR PARENT DROP-OFF BEFORE AND PICK-UP AFTER SCHOOL 

The safety of our students is very important and has been taken into consideration. Please note the following:

• Buses will continue to enter and exit to the south of the school.
• Carpool traffic will enter through the south entrance only. Carpool traffic will exit at north of the school only.  
• For morning drop-off, you'll be directed to drop off your student at doors 10 & 11 or at Courtyard.
• For afternoon pick-up, students will only exit on the north end of the school to enter your car.
• Remember:  The use of cell phones is prohibited in a school zone.

Students may only exit the front of the building if they are a bus rider. Parents may not drop off or pick up students in the front of the school during carpool times.

During carpool times, please do not wait in the front parking lot, bus lanes, fire lanes, or double- park behind other vehicles.  For their safety, do not have your student exit the front of the building and walk to your car.
