Please be sure to scroll all the way through this message. We have new and exciting information to share. Reminder, there is no school on Friday, October 9 and Monday, October 12. Please take the time to enjoy the fall weather and relax. This is a great opportunity to reflect and rest. We are ready to see what the 2nd quarter has in store!

As always, please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Students and Teachers are loving the SEL lessons. Next week in Social Emotional Learning (SEL) we will be learning how family members, peers, school personnel, and community members can help contribute to school and life success. Please feel free to reach out with any questions, chelsea_scoville@lovejoyisd.net.

Hart will be a hosting a Book Character Pumpkin Decorating Drive-Thru Parade at the end of October. This is an optional family project to be completed at home. Pumpkins should be decorated as your favorite book character. You can use paint, markers, yarn, pipe cleaners, fabric, cardboard, or even carve the pumpkin to create your character. Drop off and pick up details will be coming soon.

 Hart has live morning announcements every day. Our 4th graders produce and anchor the show. In the past, every class has been able to send small groups of students to lead The Pledge of Allegiance to the American Flag, The Pledge of Allegiance to the Texas State Flag, the Hart Promise, and the Moment of Silence. This year we will be recording students in their classrooms and play the recording on the announcements. All students will have an opportunity to participate. The morning broadcasts are recorded and sent to the virtual students, so a release form is required. If you would like your child to participate, please click here to complete the release form. If you do not wish your child to participate, you do not have to do anything. If you have questions please contact suzanne_hart@lovejoyisd.net.

Picture day is Wednesday, October 14. Order forms were sent home today. To order online go to mylifetouch.com and use Picture Day ID EVTH6H2R3. Virtual students were sent a link to a sign up genius on Tuesday, October 6. Please sign up for a time. On campus students will have pictures taken throughout the day. If you are a virtual student and did not receive the link, please email heather_bouska@lovejoyisd.net.

Keep sending in your pictures! We are so excited to see all the wonderful and fun things out Hart students are doing. Please remember to add the name of grade of everyone in the pictures. Email the photos to YearbookHart@gmail.com. Thank you!

*We no longer conduct “line-up” classroom lice checks but if a child is having signs or symptoms listed above, they are sent to the clinic for assessment. We do not give specific information on particular children or classrooms that have had incidents of lice. However, if there is a student in your child class that has a known case of lice, paper notification will be sent home with your child at the end of that day. For more information please refer to the link on our website under Hart Elementary/Clinic drop down tab. 

I have had many questions from parents in regards to symptoms that their child may be exhibiting and whether exclusion from school is needed. I am sharing the following information directly from the Lovejoy ISD Planning Guide which is located on our website. On page 24 you will find some helpful information in regards to Health Pre-Screening for Staff and Students. I am hoping this will help clear up some questions.

Hello Hart Families,

On October 4, 2020 we launched our 1st Hart Headlines newsletter of the 2020-2021 school year. Please click here to view the newsletter.

We are excited to announce that Hart PTO has secured Dennis Lee and Nana Puddin' again this year. Dennis and Nana Puddin' will be coming to us virtually this year on Thursday, October 15. The theme for this year is "Gravity". "Gravity" is all about filling up your Space Back-Pack with the choices THAT LIFT YOU AND YOUR WORLD UP, while avoiding the character choices that often weigh us down. I believe we all can use a refresher in that department. A ZOOM link will be provided closer to Thursday.

As a reminder, there is no spirit wear pick up this week. The next pick up day is Friday, October 16. Pre-Order sales should be available for pick up on that day.

Hart is in need of gel hand sanitizer. It needs to be at least 60% alcohol. Teachers have stated that the gel style hand sanitizer is easier for the students to use. They have plenty of liquid hand sanitizer, wipes and spray. Gel hand sanitizer can be sent to school with your student or dropped off in the front foyer. Thank you for helping to keep the kids and staff safe!

I also wanted to remind you that there is still time to become a member of the PTO. Things do look much different than years past. We are still booking engaging and positive programs for the students as well as providing teacher and staff support. Please click here to visit the Hart PTO website. Don't forget to register to become a member of the PTO and visit the spirit wear section!

Thank you for all of your support,

Dani Miller

PTO President
