Lovin Elementary Parent News letter
Message from Principal Payne
Dear Lovin Elementary Parents and Families,
Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! We are thrilled to see our students' bright faces back in the hallways and classrooms, ready for a year filled with learning, growth, and exciting adventures.
The first week has been fantastic as our students settled into their new classes, met their teachers, and reconnected with friends. We have an exciting year planned with engaging activities, enriching programs, and numerous opportunities for students to excel academically and personally.
A few reminders as we kick off the year:
- Attendance: Regular attendance is crucial for student success. If your child is absent, please notify the school office as soon as possible.
- Communication: We value open communication with our parents and families. Please keep an eye out for regular updates through our newsletters, emails, and our school's website.
- Input and Feedback: We are committed to seeking input and feedback from our school community to ensure we meet the needs of our students and families. We actively engage with our Student Council, STEM Council, PTA, and School Council, and we regularly gather insights through surveys and our Pastries with the Principal events. Your voice matters, and we encourage you to join us in these efforts to help shape our school's future.
Additionally, we are excited to announce a few upcoming events:
- Back-to-School Night: Join us on 8/20/24 (Grades 3-5) and 8/22/24 (Pre-K-2nd Grade) for a chance to meet your child's teacher, explore their classroom, and learn more about the exciting plans for the year. More information to come.
- PTA: Our PTA provides a lot of support to our school. We encourage all parents to get involved and contribute to our school community.
We appreciate your support and collaboration as we work together to provide the best educational experience for our students. Let's make this school year a memorable and successful one!
Educationally yours,
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. We thank you for your support.

A Friendly Reminder: Parents please delay coming to the school to have lunch with your child until after Labor Day. Thank you.

Why Join the Lovin PTA?
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.
