Dear Parents,

We have had a fantastic week, and we are very excited about our Talent Show tomorrow.  I have seen a little sneak peek with practice, and we are our in for a treat!  As a reminder, please bring your driver's license and give yourself some time for the check-in process.  We will begin promptly at 8:30.  Due to safety, all Kindergarten - 2nd graders will stay in their homeroom classrooms to enjoy the show.  

I hope that you will be able to join us tomorrow at Leopard Friday. This is one of my favorite events that our communication particiaptes in each year.  I know our volleyball team would love a big crowd as they face off with McKinney North and our football team always loves a big crowd to cheer them on to victory.  Don't forget that students are released at noon so they can prepare to attend this fantastic community event.  

As always, if you have any questions or concerns please let me know.

All My Best,

Wendy Craft

My mission is to be a servant leader who works with students, parents, and staff to build a community that fosters relationships and learning where everyone THRIVES. Each day, I strive to make the choice to be great versus comfortable, because you can't be both!

Safety Drill

Today we conducted a Safety Drill in the cafeteria for grades 1-4.  

Students were familiarized with what to do in case of a LOCKDOWN emergency while they are in the cafeteria.

We are so proud of our students' attentiveness and participation.

Nurse Notes

Email: tami_mitchell@lovejoyisd.net

• Hi, Hart families! We have started to see some flu cases and strep is still going around. Please reinforce these everyday actions with your children to help prevent the spread of illness:
• Cover your nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.
• Avoid sharing drinks or food
•  Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. Germs spread this way.
• Please do not send your child to school if he/she has:
• Flu-like symptoms (fever and/or chills, headache, muscle pain or body aches, feeling tired or weak, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, vomiting, and diarrhea)
• A fever of 100.0 degrees or greater
• Vomiting or Diarrhea
• An infection that requires antibiotics (i.e. Strep throat, bronchitis, pink eye, etc.) unless they have been on antibiotics for a full 24 hours.
• If your child is sick and tests positive for anything, please send me an email to let me know. This helps me monitor our campus health.
• Kindergarten and new to Hart students will be having vision and hearing screenings soon. More information to come on the next nurse notes.
• Thank you all for helping me keep Hart healthy!
