Parents and Guardians,
We are in the final month of the 2020-2021 school year and what I commonly refer to as “Testing Season” at LHS. Today begins two weeks of Advanced Placement (AP) testing that will be followed by End of Course (EOC) Exams and conclude with Semester Exams. Although I know it can be a stressful time for students and teachers, it is also the opportunity for them to reap the benefits of their hard work. I wish them (and you) all the best as we finish out the school year!
Please take a few minutes and read below for important information about upcoming events. Even though we only have a few weeks left in the school year, there are lots of things happening you will want to be aware of.
Sincerely,
Chris Mayfield
Principal
Lovejoy High School

Parents,
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.
If your child has been exposed to a positive lab confirmed COVID case, please keep them home and email the school nurse at amy_dresser@lovejoyisd.net.
COVID Return to Athletics Form can be found HERE. For questions regarding this Athletic Form, please contact Susan Smiley, our Head Athletic Trainer at susan_smiley@lovejoyisd.net.
If you would like your student's records to reflect that they have received their Covid vaccinations, please send proof of completed immunization to the nurse.
Stay safe and healthy,
Amy Dresser RN
School Nurse

Texas Education Agency Parent Survey for Lovejoy High School
CTE Programs
|
|
Each year, the Division of Special Populations Monitoring at the Texas Education Agency (TEA) Methods of Administration program (MOA) conducts reviews of access to Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs in districts across the state. This year Lovejoy ISD was chosen as one of those districts.
As part of the review, parents and students are asked to take part in a survey to better understand how students of varying races, color, nation of origin, home language, ethnicity, sex, and disabilities are treated and served, particularly in CTE classes, by the district.
Attached below is a letter to LISD parents that explains the purpose of the survey as well as providing a link to access it. Also, parents of students in CTE programs will receive an email from their child’s teacher next week asking if they will provide consent for their student to complete a similar survey.
The surveys will remain open until June 7, 2021 at 5:00 p.m.

A proctored practice exam will help your child build testing endurance and give a real-time snapshot of his or her testing performance.
Dates: Saturday, June 5, 2021 (ACT)
Saturday, June 26, 2021 (ACT)
Time: 8:00am – 12:00pm (Live Online)

We highly recommend taking advantage of this opportunity. Schedule your consultation to review the score report with our school’s dedicated advisor, Jayme Wakefield, who will help you interpret the results and develop a customized plan to prepare for the official exam.
