Today wraps up our Fall Book Fair. I love seeing so many students reading some of their new purchases. There is truly nothing more amazing than the feel of a new book and cracking it open to find out what wonders are held on the inside. Thank you to the many volunteers who helped decorate, set up, and work the book fair. We could not do it without you. And a huge shout out to our fabulous Mrs. Hart and Mrs. Fox who continue to create amazing opportunities for our students!
With a Full HeART,

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!
