Lovin Elementary Parent News letter
Week of August 18th-23rd
Message from Principal Payne
Dear Lovin Elementary Families,
We’ve just wrapped up our second week of school, and it’s been wonderful to see our students settling into their routines and engaging in their learning with enthusiasm! Thank you for your continued support as we navigate the start of this exciting school year.
We've already had some fantastic events during these first two weeks, including Popsicles with the Principal, Kindergarten Color Theme Days, and the PTA Back 2 School Bash. Check out my hair for Orange Day!!! It’s been a joy to connect with so many of you during these activities, and we’re thrilled to see the strong sense of community at Lovin Elementary.
Next week, we will be hosting our Curriculum Night on Tuesday, August 20, for 3rd-5th grades, and Thursday, August 22, for Pre-K-2nd grades. This is a fantastic opportunity for you to meet your child’s teacher, learn about the curriculum, and hear about the goals and expectations for the year. Your participation is key to our shared commitment to your child’s success, and we look forward to seeing you there.
Please continue to stay engaged with your child's learning journey and don’t hesitate to reach out to us with any questions or concerns.
Have a great weekend!
Kevin Payne

We Want to Hear From You
We are continuously looking for ways to improve our ways in how you as a parent receive information from us. From time to time we will be asking for our parents and guardians to take a brief survey to help us improve in these areas.
Please use this link to take a short 4 minute survey. https://forms.gle/vWjkPXBKcUR2uYYy6
We thank you for your support.
Quick Notes:
- A Friendly Reminder: Parents please delay coming to school to have lunch with your child until after Labor Day. We are busy developing routines to enhance an effective lunch room environment.
- Pastries with the Principal will be on 8/20/24 (Tuesday) from 8:30-9:30. Come out and hear about the exciting things happening at Lovin and give your input on the school's direction!
