Tiger Talk

Loveland Tiger Families,

One of the most important skills we can cultivate in our students is the desire to be a lifelong learner. It’s important that when the school day ends, you remain curious and willing to learn.

We have been putting that message into action this year through our community engagement efforts. I want to continue to learn from our community about how we can improve Loveland City Schools. You have two opportunities this month to attend a Town Hall Meeting:

• Wednesday, February 7, at 6 pm, at Loveland Elementary School

• Wednesday, February 28, at 6 pm, at Loveland Middle School

During our Town Hall Meetings, you’ll learn more about the work we do here in Loveland City Schools, and more importantly, you’ll provide us with important feedback. Consider taking about an hour of your time to attend one of these interactive community discussions. Or you can take a few minutes to follow this link to our community feedback survey. You can RSVP for our Town Halls and learn more about our community engagement work at www.lovelandschools.org/engage.

Feel free to send me an email at broadwmi@lovelandschools.org.

Go Tigers!

There is an urgent need for bus drivers for our district. Without additional drivers, we may be forced to skip some routes on some days because we are critically short-staffed. We are working to avoid this, but please create a backup plan for how your family would handle transportation in the event we are forced to limit bus service due to the driver shortage.
