LPS Tiger Talk

Principal's Message
Dear LPS Families,
We are blessed to have the opportunity to work with your children everyday. Yesterday and today, we celebrated our February Terrific Tigers and got to hear a wide variety of reasons these kiddos are amazing. Congratulations to all of the students who were recognized this month! Keep up the great work.
A quick reminder that our Annual Magazine Sale runs through next Friday, March 1st for those who are interested in supporting this fundraiser for our school. We sincerely appreciate it. If you have any questions regarding the magazine sale or anything else, please just let us know.
We hope our students and families have a wonderful weekend and we will see our Tigers back on Monday.
Sincerely,
Kevin Fancher
Calendar Change: No School on Monday, April 8, 2024
Loveland Tiger Families,
There will be no school for students on Monday, April 8, 2024. A total solar eclipse will cross over Ohio that day, and we’re canceling classes to allow families to experience the eclipse together.
The timing of the eclipse presents a safety challenge. The eclipse will stretch over a period of about two hours around afternoon dismissal time. Students would be on buses, walking, or driving home when the eclipse hits its peak, making it very challenging for students to view this once-in-a-lifetime event safely.
This is the first total solar eclipse in Ohio in more than 200 years. The Ohio Department of Workforce and Development is warning that traffic could be heavy and cell service or internet service could be impacted because of the large number of people expected to visit the state.
I understand that a change to the schedule may be an inconvenience for families, which is why we’ve made this decision now, to give everyone time to prepare. Staff will still report to work on April 8 and use the time for professional development and training.
You can find more information about how to view the eclipse here safely:
