Tiger Talk

Superintendent's Message

Loveland Tiger Families,

We’ve wrapped up the first quarter, and grades are now available in Tigerparent.me. Please take time to check your student’s progress and take advantage of teacher conferences. The year has started off strong - let’s keep it going!

Reminder that we are holding a School Finance Town Hall next week. I’d like for as many of our community members to be there as possible. Treasurer John Espy and I will share information about our district’s budget and discuss plans for the future. The School Finance Town Hall will take place in the Media Center on the Loveland Intermediate School / Loveland Middle School campus at 6 pm on Wednesday, October 21, 2026.

If you ever have questions, let me know: mikebroadwater@lovelandschools.org.

Go Tigers!

Mike Broadwater

School Finance Town Hall

Our district is at a point where we need to make important budget decisions. With our Community Advisory Team (CAT), we have been exploring all options. What comes next will be a community decision, and you’re invited to join us for a School Finance Town Hall to learn more. We’ll get together in the Media Center on the Loveland Intermediate School / Loveland Middle School campus for a discussion at 6 pm on Wednesday, October 21, 2026.

Attendance Changes for 2026-27

Attendance is important. Any time your child misses school, they miss out on the opportunity to learn. When they are absent, they can fall behind. The State of Ohio has changed the law regarding school attendance. With the change, if students miss too much classroom time - for any reason - they can be labeled “Chronically Absent.”

What To Expect:

If your student misses 3.5% of classroom time, which might be just a few days of school, you will receive a letter in the mail reminding you how important it is for them to attend school.
If your student misses 5% of classroom time, or about 60 hours of school, you may need to come in for a meeting while we develop an Absence Intervention Plan.
If the missed instructional time reaches 10%, truancy charges could be filed against your student. Their parents or guardians could also face charges for failing to send them to school.

What To Do:

It’s important to get your student to school every day. Keep your child home when they are sick, but let us know why they’re absent and when they might return. Plan vacations and other trips during school breaks - not during school time. Our calendars are available on our website at this link, so you can make plans.

If your child is dealing with a chronic illness or other ongoing issue, call or email their principal so we can account for absences and support their learning. And if you are facing other challenges getting your child to school, let us know so that we can work with you to find solutions.

We know that not every student will have perfect attendance, but being in school as much as possible is the best way for students to learn, and learning leads to lifelong success.
