Last Day of School Early Release Dismissal - May 28
To more tightly align with the WSMS dismissal procedure, our lunch period will begin at 11:15.
Parents wishing to pick their student up at 11:15 need to utilize School Dismissal Manager and form a regular dismissal carline. Students will meet you on the north side of the gym today.
Bus riders and all other students not picked up at 11:15 will be released at 11:45. Carline will form as normal on the north side of the building and students will be released through the north gym doors. School Dismissal Manager will not be used for the 11:45 pick up.

Attendance Funding:
As a reminder, Lovejoy ISD has learned from the Texas Education Agency that districts will be eligible for "Hold Harmless" state aid funding in the Spring Semester based on on-campus attendance participation rates during the last 6-weeks of school. We need your help to get our full funding. If your child is signed up for on-campus instruction learning during Q4, please make sure they are present every day on campus unless they are officially quarantined or are absent for other valid reasons such as illness or doctor's appointments. When reviewing your student’s attendance in PowerSchool you will see the designation “PF” for Present Face-to-Face or “PS” for Present Synchronously (virtually).

Growth and Development
Dear 5th grade Parents/Guardians:
As part of the health curriculum, we will provide a link to the Always Changing film on Human Growth and Development. Due to social distancing requirements, we will not be showing the puberty videos at school.
As the parent/guardian, you have the most important role in teaching your child about their growth and development. We encourage you to preview the video and learn more about how to talk to your child. https://www.pgschoolprograms.com/Parents Scroll down to view the Always Changing-Boys or Always Changing-Girls (not the original version). Once you have viewed it you can watch it with your child. Please take this opportunity to talk openly with your child.
Immunizations
Early reminder to parents of students that will be 7th graders during the 2021-2022 school year:
It is a State requirement that all 7th grade students must have had 2 required updated immunizations in order to attend school. These required immunizations are, TDaP booster (Tetanus booster) and Menactra (Meningococcal).Please obtain a copy of your child’s updated shots and provide it to our school nurse, Gretchen Young, BEFORE August 9th, 2021. You may drop it off in person, send it through the mail to Willow Springs Middle School, 1101 West Lucas Road, Lucas, TX 75002, by email to Gretchen Young or fax at 469-742-8501.
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.
Stay safe and healthy,
Michelle Countryman, RN
School Nurse
