Creating strong home school connections for student success!
Almost Time
It's almost time for the start of the 22-23 school year. Just so we don't have any early dropping off of students(smile), school starts on August 22. I am excited to see my students.
Below are a few important dates:
- Meet the Teacher: August 19th 1:30-3:00 K,1,2 should arrive starting at 1:30; grades 3-5 should start arriving at 2:00. Meet the teacher is an informal event and designed for a quick meet and greet time with the teacher. This is a great time to see the classroom and if new to Lovett help your child become familiar with where there classroom is. Parking will be a challenge and we hope that the staggered times will help. We will have the Jason and Birdwood doors open for entry.
- SAVE THE DATE Back to School Bash: August 16th 5:30-7:30. This is a great way to meet other Lovett families, build community and celebrate the start of the new year. Expect to see more about this from our PTO Fun Committee.

Volunteers In Schools
As apart of our school safety plan we be requiring VIPS registration for events that happen during the school day or if you are volunteering. PLEASE complete your registration now to decrease your check in time when attending school events. This is also required to chaperone on a field trip, volunteer in classrooms and for a host of other opportunities that will come up through the year. Please see the link below. Also, if your child has a grandparent, aunt, uncle, etc. that you know might like to volunteer or participate in certain events, please also get them to register. VIPS is required every school year. Please complete again even if you have just completed before the school year concluded.
STUDENT DRESS CODE
A reminder that we have updates to our student dress code. The link was shared at the end of June. Please review as you help your child make appropriate dress selections for the school year.
Staffing Update
We are still interviewing for a kindergarten teacher. I am doing my best to find a quality candidate for the position and will keep you posted over the next week. Beyond this position, we are staffed and throughout the week I will be posting introductions to help you get to know those new staff members better.
Parent Request for Teacher or Placement
Over the last two weeks, we've received over 50 request from parents for their children to be placed with a particular teacher or with particular students. We are unable to accommodate special placement request. Scheduling classes involves a lot of logistics and balancing and we are unable to accommodate these request and effectively schedule all students. Thanks in advance for understanding.
