Message from the Principal
Lacey Moser
Hart Family and Friends,
This has been a wonderful week of learning, and I am so proud of all the hard work happening here at Hart.
Last weekend, my family and I enjoyed visiting the Fine Arts Festival at Lovejoy High School. Our students, under the direction of Mrs. Courtenay and Mrs. Czechowski, presented fabulous art projects and a festive choir performance.
Please see the schedule below for upcoming staff and student dress up days. This will be a fun and festive start to the holiday season.
We would like to invite you to join us on Wednesday, December 20th at 8:15 AM for Hart Beat. Class parties will begin at 10:45, and students will be released early at noon.
School will reconvene on Monday, January 8th at 8:00 AM sharp. We look forward to the start of the new year.
With a Full HeART,
Lacey Moser

Hart Families,
Lovejoy ISD is partnering with BrightBytes, an educational research organization, to learn more about our students' school and home technology use and the impact it has on instruction.
We are reaching out to ask you to take part in the Technology & Learning questionnaire. This is a semi-annual initiative, and your participation is essential in helping us form a more complete picture of the role technology plays in your students' learning.
Please know that all of your responses will remain anonymous to protect your privacy. Please click here to participate in the survey.

Message from the Nurse
Currently we are seeing
strep throat (seems to be starting out as stomach ache and no fever present) and a short lived stomach virus causing vomiting/diarrhea, headache, and stomach ache (some are not experiencing all of these symptoms-and some are only having lower GI symptoms). Some are NOT experiencing fever with this stomach virus. This virus seems to be lasting about 24 hours. We are seeing a small rise in Flu A from the last couple of weeks, but still a small number of cases. There is also another flu like virus that seems to be lasting about 48 hours with symptoms similar to the flu.
Please remember, if your little ones have had diarrhea, fever greater than 100 (without medications), or vomiting they must be out of school for a full 24 hours so that we can help keep protect others.
HEAD LICE
This is the time of year that brings upsetting incidences involving head lice. Head lice can happen to anyone, so it is important to learn how to recognize, treat and prevent it from happening again! Here's what to look for:
-Persistent itching of the head
-Small white particles attached to hair that are difficult to remove
-Small brown bugs that move very fast
*We no longer conduct "line-up" classroom lice checks but if a child is having any sign/symptoms listed above, they are sent to the clinic for assessment.
For more information please refer to the link on our website under Hart Elementary/Clinic drop down tab. On the left side there is a link that is always available for your education.
Thank you for your cooperation!
