LIS Tiger Talk

Tiger Families,

It has been a fantastic first full week at LIS! The hallways are once again filled with familiar sights and sounds, and our staff and students have truly hit the ground running.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Family Information Night on Tuesday! Our teachers enjoyed sharing what families can expect during the upcoming school year. If you were unable to attend or have any lingering questions, please feel free to reach out to us anytime.

Also, be sure to scroll down for details on upcoming after-school opportunities, which will kick off in a couple of weeks.

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!

Go Tigers!

Students may use electronic devices before and after school. During school hours all electronic devices, need to be kept in students' lockers. Electronic devices include phones, tablets, smartwatches, smart glasses, and gaming devices.

The use of electronic devices in the classroom for educational purposes is at the discretion of the teacher. Students may not take pictures, record audio or record video during the school day. The school does not take responsibility for missing or lost personally owned devices. Possession of an electronic device is a privilege not a right.

We want Loveland High School football games to be a great experience for families and fans. Parents are reminded that students in grades K-6 must be supervised by an adult who is in attendance at the game. Football games are school events. Students are expected to follow all school rules and behaviors and may face school discipline for inappropriate behavior at games.

Some areas of Tiger Stadium will be off-limits to students. Additionally, bookbags are not permitted in Tiger Stadium, and there will be no re-entry. Once you leave the stadium, you will not be allowed back in.

Let’s keep game days safe and fun for families, fans, and visiting teams by demonstrating

our Loveland Core Values of Care, Respect, and Responsibility.

Staff will review Healthy Chromebook Steps with students during the first week of school.

Pick up

Families must make arrangements to pick up their students. Arrive at 2:45 to pick up your student. Most students are finished around this time, depending on pace. All students must be picked up by 3:00. There will not be exceptions to this rule. If this pick up time is not adhered to, your student will not be allowed to participate in Runners Club. Our staff members have family obligations after school and cannot stay for late pickups. If your child is permitted to walk home, please let us know. Our emails are listed below. If there is a day on which your child is not to stay for Runners Club, please communicate this with your child. You can call the school office if there is a change in schedule as well.

Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. We look forward to a great year!
