Sloan Creek Intermediate School Principal Message |
|
Hello Sloan Creek Families,
I hope you are enjoying your your day off from school!
On Wednesday, we celebrated our campus teacher of the year, Mrs. Waters (see below). She is such a valued member of our Sloan Creek staff and the positive impact she makes with the students is inspiring.
In other news, we have a few events next week that I don't want you to forget about:
-Bump Up Day is on Monday, April 18th. If possible, have your child wear a Lovejoy shirt.
-See you at the Creek is Tuesday, April 19th from 5:30-7:30.
Lastly, please take note of the sign up genius included in this newsletter for parent volunteers during lunch. Parent support is so valued and we could use your help. Providing a way to have our wonderful parents back on campus while providing extra supervision is a WIN-WIN in my book.
I am looking forward to another great week at Sloan Creek. In the meantime, enjoy a wonderful three day weekend!
Best,
Courtney Halpin

GENERAL MEETING - LES LIBRARY - May 16 @ 12:00 in the LECC Library
OUTSTANDING SERVICE AWARD
The PTO awards this to a community member and a staff member that has gone above and beyond for our School. We are honored to award this to Julie Boardman and Courtney Beal this year.
Julie Boardman is a very special individual! She has been a great asset to Sloan Creek and has displayed an outstanding level of service to our students and their families. She started the school year as the receptionist but was soon moved to the position of PIEMS/Attendance/Registrar. She had to quickly adapt and learn a whole new job. She works hard every day, stays late at times, and works extra hours to make sure each student's needs are met. She is also very pleasant and always very kind to everyone she meets. She has demonstrated a genuine care for Lovejoy students and their families. We are so blessed to have Julie be a part of our Lovejoy community.
Courtney Beal deserves this PTO Outstanding Achievement award, not only for her work at Scis, but at Hart and Willow Springs. Courtney is always willing to jump in and help where needed, and if she can’t she rallies volunteers. She can be seen in the front offices of both Sloan Creek and Willow. She always has a positive attitude and a smile on her face. She is respected by her peers and is always a helpful friend when needed. We are thrilled that she was nominated for this award!
We are gearing up for Teacher Appreciation Week May 2 - 6! We will be sharing all of the ways we are showering our teachers with love.
Thank you to Kate Bronson and other community members for sprucing up the front of our school!
Thank you
Kim Rollins
SCIS PTO President 2021-22

We would also appreciate any help you can give Mr. Jose with clean up and getting ready for the next lunch. Prior to volunteering, you must have your background check complete for this school year. Please contact Jeanette, jeanette_mervicker@lovejoyisd.net, if you are unsure about your volunteer status. To volunteer, click here for the sign up genius.

Our school will do spinal screenings on 5th grade girls through their PE class on Thursday, April 28.
State law requires that schools must screen students for abnormal spinal curvature in accordance with the following schedule:
-Girls will be screened two times, once in 5th grade and again in 7th grade.
-Boys will be screened one time in the 8th grade.
Trained screeners will check your child for signs of spinal problems like scoliosis.
Catching a spinal problem early can make the treatment much easier. Not treating spinal problems can lead to serious health problems.
The screening is simple. Screeners will look at your child's back while he or she stands and bends forward. Here are some important recommendations:
-Girls should wear shorts or bring shorts to school on the day of screening.
-Girls should wear a sports bra or a two piece swimsuit top underneath their shirt on exam day.
-It is recommended that girls remove their shirts for screening.
-Girls will be screened one at a time.
The school will send you a letter if your child does not pass the screening. The letter will tell you how to follow up with a doctor.
This screening is not a medical exam. Your child still needs to see a doctor for checkups.
If you do not wish to have your child screened for religious reasons, you must submit an exemption to the nurse no later than Monday, April 25. Please click here to access the exemption form.
Thank you for your cooperation,
Tamara Pierce, RN
