Hello Sloan Creek Families,

Staff had an amazing week of learning and are so excited to welcome your kids back to school. 

Walk the Creek ("Meet the Teacher") will be held on Monday, August 8th for 5th Grade and Thursday, August 11th for 6th Grade. This is a very important time to learn about the changes for the upcoming school year, pick up school supplies (if ordered through EPI), walk you student's class schedule, and meet their teachers.

It is important to note that this is NOT a come and go event.  All parents and students should arrive at their scheduled time, pick up their schedule and go to the gym. Important campus updates will be shared with all families at the beginning of your scheduled time and prior to students picking up supplies and walking their schedules. 

Monday, August 8th: 5th Grade students with the last name starting with A-L will meet from 3:30 PM- 4:30 PM. 5th Grade students with the last name starting with M-Z will meet from 4:45 PM- 5:45 PM. 

Thursday, August 11th: 6th Grade students with the last name starting with A-L will meet from 3:30 PM- 4:30 PM. 5th Grade students with the last name starting with M-Z will meet from 4:45 PM- 5:45 PM. 

Parking is available on campus, however, shuttle service to SCIS will be available both days from Creekwood United Methodist Church (261 Country Club Rd, 75002) beginning at 3:15 pm. 

We will open campus on Friday, August 12 from 3:30 PM-4:30 PM for our families that were not able to attend Walk the Creek. Students will be able to walk their schedule and pick up supplies (if ordered through EPI). Teachers will not be available on this day.

In addition to Walk the Creek, our wonderful PTO would like to invite our incoming 5th Grade students to Kool Off with Kona Ice on Friday, August 5th from 7:00 PM-8:00 PM at Celebration Park Pavilion (701 Angel Pkwy, Allen 75002). Kona Ice is free for our 5th Grade students. You may purchase Kona Ice for non 5th grade students.

Lastly, we are so excited to introduce our new staff members. Please see below to learn about this amazing team of educators ready and excited to serve the students of Sloan Creek. 

Please reach out if you have any questions and I look forward to an amazing year.

Dear Lovejoy Community,

We would like to invite you to attend a campus based safety and security meeting.  These meetings will provide information regarding the processes and procedures the district is taking to further improve safety on our campuses.  Each campus will host a meeting.  The agenda for each meeting will include a portion that is campus specific and a portion that is general to the district as a whole.  Campus, district, and security personnel will be in attendance at each of the meetings.  All meetings will be from 5:00 PM-6:00 PM.  The dates are as follows:

August 4- Puster Elementary School

August 9- Willow Springs Middle School

August 10- Lovejoy High School

August 11- Hart Elementary School

August 16- Sloan Creek Intermediate School

August 17- Lovejoy Child Development Center

Thank you for being a partner in the safety of our students and staff.

Please contact Julie Boardman, julie_boardman@lovejoyisd.net, if you are not planning to re-enroll with LISD. Thank you! 

The USDA waiver that allowed us to offer free lunch to all K-6 students last school year was not renewed. Congress did not provide funding for the program. 

We will be returning back to the National School Lunch Program. The elementary paid lunch price will be $4.00 ($4.75 premium meal). To qualify for free/reduced-priced lunch, households are encouraged to complete the 2022-2023 Meal Application found on the LISD Student Nutrition webpage.

Hello Sloan Creek Parents! Summer is coming to a close. I can’t decide if I am doing a happy dance or sad because those lazy days are ending. Your PTO has been hard at work this summer getting ready for a new school year. We are excited about some new volunteer opportunities and events that are coming this year. Please see below to get signed up to join our PTO and donate to our Leopard Drive. All of these funds stay at Sloan Creek and help us put on events and support our teachers, staff and students.

JOIN and DONATE

We would love for you to sign up to be part of the Sloan Creek PTO. The $8 membership dues go towards programs that benefit each student. Please sign up your students and spouses or join as a family. Grandparents are always welcome to join as well!  Your membership allows you to have access to our online directory and volunteer opportunities.

There is also an opportunity for you do donate to our Leopard Drive. This is different than your donation to Foundation for Lovejoy Schools. Those donations benefit the district as a whole. Our Leopard Drive stays at Sloan Creek to help put on programs like See you at the Creek, Kool off with Kona, teacher appreciation and many more.
