LECC Tiger Talk

Principal's Message
Dear Families,
We’ve made it to Spring Break! A huge thank you to all our families for supporting the LECC Book Fair — it was a fantastic success. Special thanks to Mary Tobias for overseeing, setting up, and dedicating so many hours to making the event such a success. We also want to express our gratitude to the parent volunteers who helped throughout the week — we couldn’t have done it without you!
This week, we also held our March Terrific Tiger Assembly, where we celebrated the many ways our Tiger Cubs are demonstrating Care, Respect, and Responsibility both inside and outside of the classroom. It’s always inspiring to see how our students live these values daily.
Today, the entire LECC staff participated in a cardiac medical response drill, where we received training from the Project Adam Team at Children’s Hospital on how to respond to sudden cardiac arrest emergencies. While we hope this situation never arises, we are working to become Project Adam Certified to ensure we’re prepared. A big thank you to Treva Lyke, our district nurse, for leading the training and ensuring our staff is well-prepared to respond in the event of an emergency.
Finally, we ended our week with a little Silly Sock Day and Sock Hop in the gym and the students had a great time showing their dance moves!
Safe travels to any families that are traveling and wish you all a wonderful and restful Spring Break!
Matt Patterson

2025-2026 Parent Input
2025-2026 Parent Input Forms
Our goal is to match your child's overall learning needs and preferences to an appropriate classroom environment. If there is specific information you would like us to consider as we make placement decisions regarding your child, please let us know using the Parent Input Form. Please avoid specific teacher requests and instead share information on a classroom environment/teacher personality that would be best for your child. If an older sibling had a teacher at Loveland, you may comment on that experience and it will be taken into consideration. If your child is a kindergartener, this form will be sent home in his/her folder on Friday, March 21st and will need to be sent back in by Thursday, April 17th. If your child is a preschooler, this input opportunity is found on the Kindergarten Questionnaire which is part of kindergarten registration. Please share ALL relevant placement concerns/information via the form provided. We are unable to accommodate individual emails, personal notes, phone calls, and impromptu meetings, due to the high number of students placed each year. We look forward to working with you and your child next year!
SCHOOL FEE REMINDER
School Fees
Loveland City School District will begin sending automated reminders about outstanding school fees, including unpaid preschool or kindergarten tuition. Families with unpaid fees will receive a call and email with the total amount due for this year and any previous years. These messages will occur monthly when there is a balance to be paid. To see details of outstanding fees or make a payment, please follow this link to log in to PaySchools Central.
