Above and Beyond Awards:
At Sloan Creek, we know EVERY staff member goes above and beyond, though we may not always hear about it. Who are our unsung heroes? Has a SCIS teacher or staff member gone above and beyond for your child/family? We want to hear about it! Parents, community members, staff members and students are welcome to share.
Lori Esser & Nancy Lessner: Lori and Nancy helped me with a baffling PowerSchool issue that ended up having a very simple solution. Lori was so patient and kind. She really went above and beyond, getting Nancy to help us sort it out. Both ladies were generous with their time and I greatly appreciate them!
Mr. Winkler

Calling all SCIS parents! We need volunteers to help the SCIS PTO on May 27th. Numana is a service learning program and will be a service event held in the SCIS gym for all 5th, 6th and virtual students.
They’ll be packaging 20,000 meals to be sent to people in need in the North Texas area. There will be a shift before school to help unload the trucks of suppllies and set up packing stations.
There will be another shift of volunteers to leading a packing station and assisting with replenishing supplies. It is welcomed and encouraged for you to sign up for both shifts if your schedule allows.
Click the Sign up Genius link below to volunteer. Then scroll down and complete the district background check.
Click on the district link to conduct your background check. This takes a few days to complete, so please fill it out by May 21, 2021.
For more information on Numana please head to their website. You may also enjoy watching the link to the video explaining more about the program.
Thank you so much for making this event a success for our students and the people of North Texas that are in need.

Volunteer Coordinator

Attendance Funding:
As a reminder, Lovejoy ISD has learned from the Texas Education Agency that districts will be eligible for "Hold Harmless" state aid funding in the Spring Semester based on on-campus attendance participation rates during the last 6-weeks of school. We need your help to get our full funding. If your child is signed up for on-campus instruction learning during Q4, please make sure they are present every day on campus unless they are officially quarantined or are absent for other valid reasons such as illness or doctor's appointments. When reviewing your student’s attendance in PowerSchool you will see the designation “PF” for Present Face-to-Face or “PS” for Present Synchronously (virtually).

Not Returning to LISD Next Year?

Growth and Development
Dear 5th grade Parents/Guardians:
As part of the health curriculum, we will provide a link to the Always Changing film on Human Growth and Development. Due to social distancing requirements, we will not be showing the puberty videos at school.
As the parent/guardian, you have the most important role in teaching your child about their growth and development. We encourage you to preview the video and learn more about how to talk to your child. https://www.pgschoolprograms.com/Parents Scroll down to view the Always Changing-Boys or Always Changing-Girls (not the original version). Once you have viewed it you can watch it with your child. Please take this opportunity to talk openly with your child.
Immunizations
Early reminder to parents of students that will be 7th graders during the 2021-2022 school year:
It is a State requirement that all 7th grade students must have had 2 required updated immunizations in order to attend school. These required immunizations are, TDaP booster (Tetanus booster) and Menactra (Meningococcal).Please obtain a copy of your child’s updated shots and provide it to our school nurse, Gretchen Young, BEFORE August 9th, 2021. You may drop it off in person, send it through the mail to Willow Springs Middle School, 1101 West Lucas Road, Lucas, TX 75002, by email to Gretchen Young or fax at 469-742-8501.
Medications
If your child has medicine at school, please make sure your child has exactly enough medicine to finish the school year. You are responsible for picking up any extra medicine as the school district has a policy against sending medicines home with students. At the end of this school year, any remaining medicines, including inhalers, will be thrown out. The school cannot store these for you during the summer.
Stay safe and healthy,
Michelle Countryman, RN
School Nurse
