Message from the Principal
Lacey Moser
Dear Hart Families,
I hope everyone is enjoying this cooler we
ather to start our long weekend. I sure enjoyed pulling out some Fall clothes!
It was a great week at Hart with Family Fun Night. We couldn't have asked for better weather. I love when we are able to come together at these events. It was a great evening to connect the Hart families with music, food, and lots of playing.
There is another opportunity for us to come together at
our 2nd Annual Tailgate Party at Hart on Friday October 18th before the Homecoming football game. We will have a couple of grills set up on the North side of the building and we will be flipping burgers and grilling hot dogs. We will also have chips, water, and soda available. We will start tailgating at 5:00 p.m. Hart is a shuttle spot for the football game, so buses will shuttle anyone parking at Hart to and from the high school. This is a great way to avoid the parking struggles at the high school! Please RSVP using the following
form
to let us know you will be joining us!
For those of you who don't know, Mr. Romero is on his way to Jamaica to get married. Even though he will be greatly missed next week, we hope he has a beautiful wedding and a safe trip. We are looking forward to celebrating his nuptials when he returns on Monday, Oct. 21 with a shower in our lounge. For those parents who asked where he and his wife are registered: Crate and Barrel and Bed, Bath, and Beyond.
With a Full HeART,
Lacey Moser

October 21-October 25, 2019
One Heart, One Promise
Red Ribbon Week is a special week recognized around the country. This week-long celebration of events is designed to educate and increase awareness about drug prevention. At Hart Elementary, we consider this a great time to pledge to be drug free and to reflect on ways that we can maintain a happy and healthy lifestyle. Red Ribbon Week activities will kick off on Monday, October 21st . During the week of October 21st - October 25th , we will emphasize making responsible choices that can help students be and do their very best in school and in life. We would like to encourage everyone to bring healthy snacks to school and to participate in the fun dress-up days.
Let's Participate in a Healthy
Activity that Benefits Our Community
!
According to research, youth who feel they are contributing members of a caring community are less likely to be involved in illegal drug use. As part of our Red Ribbon Week activities, Lovejoy students will have the opportunity to connect to the Collin County community. We will emphasize participating in a healthy activity that benefits others by participating in a service project to support Allen Community Outreach (ACO). Each year during the month of October, ACO has a fundraiser called the Caring Coins Drive in which they collect donations of spare change to support the ongoing needs in Collin County. Let's encourage our students to contribute to this service organization by bringing in their American coins and/or bills each day of Red Ribbon Week. Their generous contributions will assist residents of Allen, Lucas, and Fairview who are in financial need.
Theme: One Heart, One Promise
Wear RED to kick off our week.
Activity: Temporary tattoos and counselor lessons.
***Penny Day for ACO Caring Coins-Bring your pennies!
Theme: Drug free for the win, dress as a twin
Activity: Dress alike. Counselor lessons
***Nickel Day for ACO Caring Coins-Bring your nickels!
T
heme: Don't let drugs ruin your dreams!
Activity: Wear your favorite pajamas
*** Dime Day for ACO Caring Coins-Bring your dimes!
Theme: Team up against drugs
Activity: Wear your favorite team shirt or jersey
***Quarter Day for ACO Caring Coins-Bring your quarters!

Message from the Nurse:
Currently we are seeing allergy related illness (ragweed has been high) and a type of stomach virus with most predominant symptoms being stomach ache with cramping, vomiting, diarrhea, headache. It seems that not all are getting fever with this virus and seems to be lasting anywhere from 24-48 hours.
Please remember, if your little ones have had diarrhea, fever greater than 100 (without medications), or vomiting they must be out of school for a full 24 hours so that we can help keep protect others.
We have seen some cases of Hand, foot , and mouth disease. Parents please be on the lookout for signs and symptoms of this virus.
Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral illness that usually affects infants and children younger than 5 years old. However, it can sometimes occur in older children and adults. It usually starts with:
- a fever
- reduced appetite
- sore throat
- a feeling of being unwell (malaise)
One or two days after the fever starts, painful sores can develop in the mouth. They usually begin as small red spots, often in the back of the mouth, that blister and can become painful.
A skin rash on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet may also develop over one or two days as flat, red spots, sometimes with blisters.
We ask that parents follow our policy that the child should be fever free for 24 hours without fever reducing medication and that all blisters be dried and no new blisters appearing.
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. You can also use the School Dismissal App to report an illnesses. 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 and Nurse Alli, allison_wright@lovejoyisd.net. Contacting Coach and Nurse Alli directly will ensure the limitation is noted and alternate plans can be made.
Thank you!
Nurse Alli

Please let me know if you have any questions, chelsea_scoville@lovejoyisd.net.

PowerSchool Parent Portal Access Tips
Here are some quick bullets about the PowerSchool Parent Portal:
PowerSchool Parent Portal Access Tips
Here are some quick bullets about the PowerSchool Parent Portal:
- Unless you have changed your username after August 12, 2019, the username is the email address that is associated to the parent account. The log of invalid logins that we are seeing are typically parent accounts that are trying to use something other than an email address as the username.
- Recently users have been denied access and it is determined that they are not using the correct URL. Please make sure that you are going to http://powerschool.lovejoyisd.net . If you see Welcome to Unified Classroom, you are on the wrong site. This is another PowerSchool product that we do not have a subscription as it duplicates Google Classroom.
- Remember that the mobile app is only a tool for updates on assignments, grades, and attendance. Typically to access the Enrollment Forms, Absence Reason Excuses, GPA Information, and the Random Drug Testing Forms you must use a tablet, laptop or desktop and the URL above. From a mobile phone, you can use your browser and go to the URL above; however, once logged in it is difficult to navigate.
