Dear Parents,


We are so excited to have our first official HartBeat tomorrow at 8:45.  This is an opportunity for us to celebrate our student's character and build school spirit.  One change you will notice this year is instead of a Leopard Leader award, we are giving a Leopard P.R.I.D.E. award. This is something that our staff developed to help us build strong character.  A student who models these traits is a true leader.

Since our football team is having "Pink Out" tomorrow night, we are also encouraging our students and staff to wear pink tomorrow. We hope that you will be able to join us for an outstanding celebration and wear your pink. Please be patient during our check in process. 


I hope that you have a safe and happy four day weekend where your create lifelong memories with with family.  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!

 Let’s talk about Strep Throat. It is a bacterial infection spread by respiratory droplets from talking, coughing, or sneezing.

  • Symptoms can include sore throat, pain when swallowing, fever, red and swollen tonsils (sometimes with pus), tiny red spots on the roof of the mouth, swollen lymph nodes in front of the neck, headache, stomach pain, nausea or vomiting.
  • The only way to know if it is strep throat is to be seen by a doctor and get tested.
  • Because strep throat is a bacterial infection, antibiotics are needed to treat it. If your child has strep throat, please don’t send them back to school unless they have been on antibiotics for a full 24 hours as it can still be contagious before then.
  • Please remind your children to continue frequent hand washing, cover their nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing, and to avoid sharing food or drinks.

Lovejoy ISD Campus Library Updates

In an effort to support transparency and parental involvement, Lovejoy ISD school libraries are initiating a communication practice. Parents will receive a weekly notification from the campus librarian that includes library materials their student currently checked out. Librarians are planning to begin notifications the week of September 12th. Parents should ensure email contact information is current in PowerSchool so to receive the weekly information.


Parents will also have the option to request limited access for their child to library materials. Campus librarians will post information on the campus website that provides guidance for parents to request specific book titles they do not want their child to check out.


Our campus librarians serve as an excellent resource for parents should you have questions. The District is committed to providing extension and enrichment opportunities for students with library materials through school and home partnerships.
