Thank you for another fantastic year in Loveland. I hope all of our students and their families have a safe and relaxing summer break and come back in August ready to learn.
If you have any questions over the summer, you can reach me at mikebroadwater@lovelandschools.org.
Go Tigers!

Join the Community Advisory Team!
We are creating a district Community Advisory Team (CAT) to provide more avenues for feedback and meaningful conversations. The primary mission of the Community Advisory Team is to advise district leadership on key priorities and issues facing the district. Members of the CAT will strive to offer informed suggestions to help the district reach the goals of the #beLOVEland Strategic Vision: Student Success, Collaborative Culture, Community Engagement, and Fiscal Responsibility.
There will be four meetings throughout the school year:
Wednesday, September 18, 2024 at 5:30 p.m.
Wednesday, October 16, 2024 at 5:30 p.m.
Wednesday, February 12, 2025 at 5:30 p.m.
Wednesday, March 12, 2025 at 5:30 p.m.
The Community Advisory Team is open to district residents, parents, students, and staff who are passionate about education and making a difference. If you want to join the Community Advisory Team for the 24-25 school year, please apply by following this link to complete a brief Google Form. Applications will be accepted through August 30, 2024.
Reminders
Website Updates
This summer, there will be an update to our website, lovelandschools.org. The new look should feel familiar and remain easy to navigate. Unfortunately, some of your saved bookmarks may no longer work after the update, but the information you need should still be easy to find. The Loveland City Schools mobile app will no longer work after the website redesign and should be deleted. The new website looks great on mobile - so you’ll still be able to find everything you need about Loveland City Schools. If you have any questions, contact Andrew Setters, Director of Communication and Community Engagement, at setteran@lovelandschools.org.
Volunteers Needed!
Loveland City School District is supported by fantastic parent and community volunteers through parent-teacher organizations, booster groups, and our Loveland Schools Foundation. Please consider volunteering your time with one of these groups. Their continued success helps ensure the success of all of our students!

Transportation Challenges Continue
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.
Loveland bus drivers receive paid training, health insurance, and retirement benefits. Follow this link to apply online, or call our Transportation Department at 513-683-3103. Please spread the word to your friends and neighbors about this great opportunity to help our Loveland City School District community.
