Loveland City Schools Newsletter

Loveland Tiger Community,

We’re in the busy period between Thanksgiving and Winter Break, and here in Loveland City School District, we’re using this time to demonstrate our Core Values of Care, Respect, and Responsibility. Last year, we launched a new celebration - “Grandparents and Great Influences.” We invite grandparents and other important people in the lives of our students for celebrations in every building.

“Grandparents and Great Influences” events are underway throughout December, and they’re pretty special. Grandparents, parents, siblings, aunts and uncles, coaches, and more have all stepped up to be honored during these events. It’s a great chance for us to recognize the older members of our community and all the other people who invest in our students.

It’s really busy in our buildings - like we’re having company over for the holidays - but it’s great to welcome so many visitors. The hallways are full of energy and big smiles, and we’re creating special memories. Our #beLOVEland spirit is all about the relationships that make our school district special. I’m happy we have an opportunity to share that spirit with so many people during “Grandparents and Great Influences” events.

To all of our guests - thank you for being so important to our students. And thank you to our staff for helping to make these events awesome!

If you have questions, you can always reach me at mikebroadwater@lovelandschools.org.

Go Tigers!

Loveland Tiger Community,

Utilizing the feedback from both the Community Advisory Team and Finance Town Hall, I am preparing a video series to inform and educate the community on school finance and specific financial items that are affecting Loveland City Schools. Be on the lookout for these in early 2025.

This past month, I focused on preparing and presenting the November Five Year Forecast. This is one of two presentations of the forecast per year, and includes updated inputs for both revenues and expenditures factors that affect the finances of Loveland City Schools. You can find the forecast and accompanying notes HERE and the recorded presentation from the November Board of Education business meeting HERE. As we enter the holiday season, I wish you and yours the best, and look forward to everything that 2025 will bring for Loveland City Schools and our community.

Go Tigers!

Thank you to everyone who contributed to another successful Pass-It-On Food Drive! Loveland City School District has been helping local families in need with Pass-It-On for 23 years. Food donated during Pass-It-On helps support LIFE Food Pantry as they create Thanksgiving and holiday food baskets for 300 local families. Students, families, and staff donate food then assemble and distribute food baskets.

Loveland High School students in our Tigers Inc. program wrapped up a successful food drive for LIFE Food Pantry. “Rally for the Tally” collected canned goods and funds for LIFE, which supports families in Loveland and the surrounding areas. Jarvis Global Investments supported the cause by donating several dozen cases of canned goods. Students organized fundraising events, sold raffle tickets, and got hands-on experience in marketing by promoting the event. Students raised more than $1,200 and collected more than 3000 cans. Thank you to our Tigers Inc. students and everyone who donated!
