Dear Parents,
We only have five more wake-ups until Fall Break. Next Thursday, will signify the end of our first quarter of school. First through fourth grade students will receive their report cards on Friday, October 14th. As a reminder, Kindergarten students will receive their report cards in January. Teachers will be sending you a video to explain the report card before October 14th. All teachers will be meeting with each parent between now and January 31st to discuss your child's progress. This is a change from the past. The teachers believed that this would give them the opportunity to spend more time at conferences and give parents better information. If you have any questions regarding your child's progress, then please reach out to your child's teacher first. If you are not satisfied, then please reach out to me or Mrs. Rawlins.
Today, we had the opportunity to celebrate our recipients for Heart of a Teacher and Heart of Support. Mrs. Goff, a fourth grade Math and Science teacher, is our recipient of Heart of a Teacher for September. Mrs. Goff volunteers in extra committess to represent our shcool, she builds strong relationships with her students, and she works very hard to determine and meet each of her students' needs. Our Heart of Support recipient for September is Rena Gore, Special Education Instructional Aide. She has a great gift of jumping in and helping whereever she is needed, builds strong connections with students, and is a fantastic teammate. Her smile is contagious, and we are grateful that she is a part of our team. Please join me in recognizing Mrs. Goff and Ms. Gore on their honors.

Parents, thank you for your patience as we used a new book fair vendor this fall. They are a great company that offers a large selection of children's books and are adjusting and tweaking their systems each day to ensure a good experience for both kids and parents. I chose to switch from Scholastic for several reasons, but I plan to use Literati through the Spring of 2023 and then reassess. If you have any questions or feedback, please email me at kristin_dawson@lovejoyisd.net. The fair is open late today until 6:00, so come shop at the Book Fair! Mrs. Dawson, Hart Librarian

Let’s talk about Strep Throat. It is a bacterial infection spread by respiratory droplets from talking, coughing, or sneezing.
- Symptoms can include sore throat, pain when swallowing, fever, red and swollen tonsils (sometimes with pus), tiny red spots on the roof of the mouth, swollen lymph nodes in front of the neck, headache, stomach pain, nausea or vomiting.
- The only way to know if it is strep throat is to be seen by a doctor and get tested.
- Because strep throat is a bacterial infection, antibiotics are needed to treat it. If your child has strep throat, please don’t send them back to school unless they have been on antibiotics for a full 24 hours as it can still be contagious before then.
- Please remind your children to continue frequent hand washing, cover their nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing, and to avoid sharing food or drinks.

Lovejoy ISD Campus Library Updates
In an effort to support transparency and parental involvement, Lovejoy ISD school libraries are initiating a communication practice. Parents will receive a weekly notification from the campus librarian that includes library materials their student currently checked out. Librarians are planning to begin notifications the week of September 12th. Parents should ensure email contact information is current in PowerSchool so to receive the weekly information.
Parents will also have the option to request limited access for their child to library materials. Campus librarians will post information on the campus website that provides guidance for parents to request specific book titles they do not want their child to check out.
Our campus librarians serve as an excellent resource for parents should you have questions. The District is committed to providing extension and enrichment opportunities for students with library materials through school and home partnerships.

Lovejoy Theatre Presents: All In The Timing | |
 | |
Lovejoy High School Theatre is thrilled to present their production of All in The Timing, by David Ives. The show will be performed on September 30 and October 1, 2022 at 7:00 pm.
Wit, intellect, satire and just plain fun! This production features nine diverse and interesting one-act comedies. They range from the sentimental to the absurd, but are all equally hysterical. Every scene focuses on the way that people utilize language, and deconstruct the perspectives people have on life and meaning.
All in the Timing uses inspired language and word play to examine various attempts at relationships and communication with comical results. It will push your smart buttons, tease your brain, and tickle your heart!
Tickets are $7 for students, seniors and staff, and $10 for adults. Tickets will be on sale beginning September 19 at the online box office at https://tinyurl.com/LHSBoxOffice22-23.
Join us for an evening of laughter and an experience that breaks all the rules of Theatre. Come join us for All In The Timing at the Lovejoy High School Auditorium at: 2350 Estates Parkway, Lucas, Texas.
