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 thank you for your support.

• 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.

Are you looking for a way to be more involved in your child’s education and school community?

Joining the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) is a fantastic opportunity to make a meaningful impact! Here are some great reasons to become a PTA member:

• Enhance Your Child’s Learning Experience: Your involvement helps to fund and support enriching programs, events, and resources that directly benefit our students.
• Build Connections: Joining the PTA allows you to meet other parents, teachers, and school staff, fostering a strong sense of community and collaboration.
• Stay Informed: PTA members are the first to hear about important school news, updates, and opportunities. You’ll have a voice in discussions and decisions that affect our school.
• Advocate for Change: The PTA provides a platform to advocate for the needs and interests of our students and school community at both the local and national levels.
• Volunteer Opportunities: Whether you have a little time or a lot, there are many ways to get involved. From helping at events to joining committees, your contributions make a difference.

Together, we can create a supportive and enriching environment for all our children.

We look forward to seeing you there!
