A Message from the Principal

May 31, 2022

Parents and Guardians,


Happy Summer! Although I know today is just the first official day of the break, I hope you get to start enjoying the activities and changes that summer brings to your schedules very soon. We had a fantastic graduation this past Saturday and now are moving into our summer activities of planning, scheduling, hiring, and preparing for a great next school year here at LHS. 

 

As mentioned in earlier communication, Dr. Travis Zambiasi has been named the new LHS Principal for the upcoming school year. He and I will be working together over the next couple of weeks to make the transition as smooth as possible. Please note that we have a Meet and Greet opportunity for LHS parents with Dr. Zambiasi next Tuesday, June 7th at 5:00 p.m. in the LHS Lecture Hall. I hope you will be able to attend and welcome him to the Lovejoy family.  

 

Below you will find some important information including our summer hours and student scheduling. Please let us know if we can help answer any questions or provide additional information.   

 

Have a great summer!

 

Sincerely,


Chris Mayfield

Principal

Counselor Corner

Students who turned in a dual credit permission form for 2022-2023:

At this time we ask that you log into Cougar Web and pay for your dual credit classes. Registration and Payment deadline for Lovejoy ISD is June 1st. Attached is a helpful guide on how to make a payment through Cougar Web. If you would like to enroll in the payment plan option, please use the attached link and further instructions will be provided at a later date. We ask that you provide an email address that you will check to ensure you will receive the instructions on how to set up the payment plan. Failure to sign up for the payment plan will result in the student being dropped from dual credit for non-payment. Additionally, we would like you to view your dual credit classes in the system to make sure you are signed up for the correct classes. For now, please ignore the times on the courses as those will be adjusted in July once Collin receives the rosters from Lovejoy ISD.  Please continue to check your email you used to apply to Collin College. You may still have holds to complete before Collin College can register you in your courses.
