SCIS Parents,
I hope you will take a moment to watch the video above that contains some important details about the following items:
- Fire Drill Tuesday *See video
- Clubs start this week *See video
-
Principal Interview Series: *See video
- Kids tell us: "What is your favorite thing about SCIS?"
Above and Beyond Awards:
I want to nominate Dayna McCormick:
She has been such a wonderful source and point of contact. Our son,is a 5th grader. Last year was his first year in the district and he was virtual. He also has xxxxxxx, which makes him a super special kid. Needless to say, Mrs. McCormick has been a life saver in helping him (and his parents) adjust to SCIS. Last Friday, he became overwhelmed during gym and left and went to the nurse, who was a sub. Unfortunately, he didn’t tell the teacher he was leaving and so he was “missing” for a bit. Mrs. McCormick tracked him down and spent some time talking to him. She even called me after school and we had a long talk about the events that took place. I can’t say enough about how much I appreciate everything she does. I trust that she’s the extra set of eyes on my son and ensuring that his modified education plan is working (we have already had conversations). She’s an example of why we moved to Lovejoy. Thanks, Barbara

- Texas Education Agency released updated Health and Safety Guidance. As part of that guidance, effective September 8, Lovejoy ISD will require students with a COVID-19 positive household member/siblings to quarantine.
- We are also implementing a policy of no visitors eating lunch with students to assist with mitigating COVID-19.
-
Lastly, Lovejoy ISD is implementing a new COVID-19 Daily Parent Checklist which can be found here. Please complete this checklist daily with your child. Lovejoy ISD's updated 2021-2022 Health and Safety Measures may be found here.
- Please know that we continue to evaluate our other practices, and we will keep you updated as changes are mad

Dear Lovejoy ISD Families,
The district is required to collect and report the socioeconomic status of each student to the Texas Education Agency for purposes of the annual state accountability ratings and for federal reporting. Benefits for families/students that qualify are reduced costs on SAT/ACT assessments, financial aid, free or reduced meals, lower costs for Advanced Placement tests, P-EBT benefits, Emergency Broadband Benefits or discounts, free or discounted athletic fees, free or discounted transportation fees, and some colleges waive applications fees.
In addition, there are possible financial benefits for the district that could impact programming and services for students.
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.
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
