Parents and Guardians,
This Thursday, October 8th, marks the end of the first grading period and the beginning of a long weekend for students with the district being closed on Friday, October 9th and Monday, October 12th for Fall Break. Please encourage your student to finish strong this week and don’t hesitate to reach out to their teachers if you have questions or concerns.
When we return to school on Tuesday, October 13th, students who selected the On-Campus learning environment, for the second nine weeks, will begin attending school 5-days a week. Students participating in On-Campus learning will be expected to be on campus Monday - Friday.
With the majority of LHS students selecting On-Campus learning, we are working to equalize class sizes to reduce the total number of students per classroom, while allowing for social distancing in an effort to keep our students and staff safe.
It is important to know that in equalizing the number of total students in each classroom schedule and teacher changes are anticipated for many of our students. Over the next few days, we will be communicating additional information regarding student schedule changes.
On October 14th LHS will serve as a PSAT testing site for all 10th and 11th-grade students. This includes all virtual students in 10th and 11th grade as PSAT does not provide a virtual testing option.
All 10th and 11th graders (including those who have chosen a virtual learning option) will have the opportunity to take the PSAT during the school day on October 14. To facilitate a safe and conducive testing environment, students not sitting for the PSAT (9th and 12th graders) will learn asynchronously on October 14 through Google Classroom. By utilizing asynchronous learning on this date, the number of On-campus students will be significantly reduced. Additionally, all staff members will be available to proctor the PSAT exam. Additional information regarding the PSAT is listed below. Look for a specific PSAT email to LHS parents this Wednesday.
Have a great week.
Sincerely,
Chris Mayfield
Principal

Please take the time to update your student's health information in Powerschool, including allergies. This is crucial information when assessing for Covid symptoms.
Also, the current weather can trigger asthma. If your student has asthma and would like to carry an inhaler on campus or in athletics, an Asthma Action Plan signed by both a parent/guardian and a doctor must be on file in the clinic. This form and other important forms can be found here: Lovejoy ISD Student Health Services
