Dear Hart Families,

We were beyond excited to see so many of you at Meet the Teacher. The anticipation and enthusiasm is overflowing here at Hart. 

Your child's teacher will be making a phone call to your child tomorrow, Friday, August 16 between 10:00 am and 12:00 pm (noon). This phone call is meant for your child. We want to make sure your child knows how eager we are for the new school year and to help calm any nerves that may be lingering. 
Parents, don't worry, your child's teacher will be calling you within the first 2 weeks of school to discuss any questions, concerns or comments you may have. 

We will be implementing a new on-line dismissal management system. School Dismissal Manager is an on-line tool that parents can use to report early departures from school as well as make transportation changes. Parents will receive an email with instructions on how to login. Information was also included in your child's meet the teacher paper packet. 

Just a few reminders as we plan for another amazing year at Hart...

School begins at 8:00 a.m. and is dismissed at 3:10 p.m.
Students can be dropped off no earlier than 7:30 a.m.  On the first day of school, August 19, parents are allowed to walk their student to class.

Beginning August 20, students  can be dropped off at the front of the building or the south side doors. We will have staff members at both drop off locations to assist getting students out of the car. All students will go to the cafeteria until 7:50 a.m. Teachers will come to the cafeteria and meet their students and walk to the classroom together. Students not in classrooms by 8:00 a.m. will need to report to the office for a tardy slip. After the first day of school, parents must come in to the office with their government issued identification scanned to receive a badge prior to entering the school past the office. 

Dismissal will be divided by alphabet. Last name A-K will be dismissed from the south side doors. Last name L-Z will be dismissed by the north side doors. Please have your car tag in clear view. Your student will remain indoors until the car tag number has been relayed to the teacher. Your student will need to know their car tag number. Students that walk home will be dismissed from the northeast playground doors. Bus riders will be dismissed from the front doors. Please be on the lookout for more information regarding Student Dismissal Manager.

We encourage lunch visitors! We do ask that you please wait until after August 26 to join your child for lunch. It is a hard couple of weeks for everyone as we establish routines and procedures. Please sit at the tables reserved for lunch visitors. Please remember anytime you come to campus and visit, please bring your government issued identification. Everyone will need to be scanned in to Raptor and receive a badge prior to entering the school. 

We have several volunteer opportunities. Please be sure to log on to the website and complete your background check. Please see below for more information. 

Birthdays are always special. We welcome you to send birthday treats on your child's birthday. Please contact your child's teacher ahead of time to coordinate. Treats will be dropped off in the office and your child's teacher will come and pick them up. Please remember to cut the treat if it is required. 

I feel so great about this year. We have the best staff and parents. I know our students are set up to succeed. 


With a Full HeART,

Message from the Nurse:
 

I will be in the clinic on August 16, 2019. Please feel free to drop off any medication your child may need. I know back to school can be a hectic time. 

                                                                   
Please remember your student must be free from fever without medicine, diarrhea, or vomiting for 24 hours before returning to school to prevent illnesses from spreading. Fever is considered 100.0 or greater. If your child is absent from school, written documentation is needed. Please email Alis_Brantl@lovejoyisd.net and Heather_Bouska@lovejoyisd.net with the date and reason for the absence. Thanks for all you do at home to keep your children healthy and in school.
 

If your child has physical restrictions from activity, please email Coach Eric Hill, eric_hill@lovejoyisd.net. Contacting Coach directly will ensure the limitation is noted and alternate plans can be made. 
Thank you!
