From the Library

I am excited to announce that the library will be offering book checkouts starting the first week of school which is next week! Students have the option to put a hold on a book via our Destiny Catalog system or request a librarian-selected book based on their interests. Our first pick up day will be Friday, August 21 at noon. For more detailed information on how to complete these requests and to make sure there is a book available for you to pick up please review the following document.

Be on the lookout for even more exciting library programs and services in the coming weeks! We will be posting information through the Library google classroom, as well as sharing information in the Principal's Message and on the library website.

Happy reading!

From the Nurse

If your student has a prescription or over the counter medication that needs to be kept in the SCIS school clinic during face to face instruction, please contact me.

The Medication, Emergency Action, and the Asthma Action forms can all be found here. Some of these forms must be signed by the child's physician as well as the parent, so you will need to fill these out ahead of time.

I will be available for medication and form drop off on Monday August 24th and Thursday August 27th from 8:00-10:00 both days.

Please email me at michelle_countryman@lovejoyisd.net to reserve a time on one of those days. I will be setup outside in the back courtyard area.

All medications must be in their original packaging (NO ziplock baggies) and not expired.

Prescription medications must have the proper label on the bottle or packaging and will have to be counted with the parent dropping the medication off.

Thank you,

Michelle Countryman, RN
