Dear Lovejoy Leopards,

We are eagerly counting down the hours in anticipation of our Leopards being back at school! I was out walking our campuses very early this morning and spied a few of our teachers and staff dedicating additional time to make sure tomorrow morning is a wonderful experience for our students. I also noticed how much love and time has been put into making our classrooms and schools warm and welcoming.

We look forward to the opportunities the 2021-2022 school year holds for our students, staff and community.

Lovejoy Proud,

Katie Kordel
Superintendent of Schools
Foundation for Lovejoy Schools
Annual Welcome Event

Relationships are important in Lovejoy ISD. On Saturday morning, the Foundation for Lovejoy Schools held its annual welcome breakfast for new families. It was extra special to experience the welcome breakfast both as superintendent and as a new Lovejoy parent. We loved meeting and engaging with our new students and their parents. The Foundation went above and beyond to ensure the newest members of our Lovejoy family felt embraced and connected.
Health and Safety Measures

In Lovejoy ISD, we believe that the most impactful and profound learning occurs in the classroom when students are able to connect and collaborate with their teacher and peers. Keeping our students and staff healthy and at school is a priority for all of us. Face coverings are optional for all students, staff, and visitors. We encourage individuals to wear face coverings, especially those who are not vaccinated, in our schools and district facilities. Please follow this link to our updated 2021-2022 Health and Safety Measures.
 
Parents, we need your help to start the school year strong by checking your child for symptoms of illness before school each day. If they are starting to show symptoms, please keep them home. When you contact the school, they will provide academic support. If there is a positive case of COVID in your child’s classroom, we will send an email to let you know. Lovejoy ISD will maintain our current COVID-19 dashboard by each campus on the website. Numbers will be updated at the end of each day. We are also required to notify the Health Department and the TEA of positive cases in our schools.
National School Lunch Program
Offers K-6 Nutrition

We know that the day before school starts often comes with a long list of things to do. Good news, you can take making lunch off that list. School lunches will be provided for all K-6 students for the 2021-2022 school year. The USDA issued a waiver to allow schools participating in the National School Lunch Program to offer meals to students at no cost.

Transportation Update

The transportation department has been busy preparing for the 2021-2022 school year. Routes and schedules have been set and communication has been provided for our Lovejoy families and staff. We are excited about the opportunity to provide transportation for the students of our district. Everyone in the Lovejoy ISD transportation department appreciates you entrusting us with the most precious cargo possible.

If you have any questions regarding transportation, please contact: Dee Dee Lewis, Director of Transportation at: deedee_lewis@lovejoyisd.net or 469.742.8028.
