Loveland High School

I hope this month's newsletter finds you in good health and high spirits as we embark on our Fall Season filled with exciting possibilities and opportunities for growth. As the weather begins to cool and the leaves begin to change, our school community once again comes to life with the energy, curiosity, and determination of our exceptional students, dedicated staff, and supportive families.

Thanks to everyone that came to Back to School Night! We had such a great time getting to meet all of you! If you missed it, please view the slide show. We look forward to supporting our students throughout the year! Hopefully for those that came to Back to School Night, you saw how much we enjoy working with all of our students. If one of our teacher’s stands out for the success of your child, please consider nominating them for the Teacher of the Month through the Loveland Rotary Club by completing this quick Teacher of the Month Application.

Our Loveland High School community thrives when we work together, and there are countless ways you can become involved and support our students' success. Whether you have a few hours to spare as a volunteer, expertise to share as a guest speaker, or resources to donate to our various programs, your contributions make a significant impact. We encourage you to explore the different avenues of involvement and find the one that resonates with you. We have several opportunities to support Loveland HS in this upcoming newsletter.

At Loveland High School, we believe in the strength of community and the power of collaboration. By working together, we can create a supportive and nurturing environment where our students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. As we embark on this exciting journey, let us remain committed to the growth and success of our students and our school. I am confident that, together, we can make this academic year one filled with achievements, meaningful connections, and memorable moments.

Thank you for your continued support, and I look forward to working with you and supporting our Red Wolves. Thanks for your support and GO Loveland!!!

Congratulations on another successful IB Diploma Exam session! More than 82% of the students taking the May 2023 exams passed with a 4 or better. Many of our students received college credit, including the full Diploma Candidates who received 24 credits at Colorado universities. Find out more about the LHS IB Diploma Programme and watch for upcoming meetings and events!

Our LHS staff has been awarded over $24,000 in grant money from DonorsChoose for over 44 different projects and activities. These numbers are still going up as our staff and donors are working together to raise support for LHS. Thank you for everyone’s support for our Red Wolves!

All handicap parking spots have been removed from the West-Main Parking Lot and moved to the Southern “Swim” Parking Lot in order to meet ADA requirements. Please be aware of these changes when you are planning your visit at LHS.

Students with an off period will soon see a course added to their schedule (LHS Open Block S1 or S2). This change makes it easier for families to see the off period in the schedule. Attendance and transcripts are not impacted.

Students should remain in the Library or Cafeteria during the entire off period and may not wander the building. If you would like your student to be in a Study Hall for Semester 1 or 2, please contact the student's Counselor to check availability. Attendance is taken in the Study Hall and ALL students are eligible for this opportunity.

Families and Red Wolves, a great way to support LHS is through being involved. We are looking at starting a PTSA (Parent Student Teacher Association) to help support LHS and our goals. If you are interested in participating, please fill out the PTSA Interest Form and we will get back to you with next steps. Thanks for everything that you do to help support our staff, students and families.

Each student needs a total of 20 volunteer hours by March of Senior year in order to graduate, and these hours may be earned anytime over the course of four years. Forms are available in the Library! Please record hours as you complete them - helping neighbors do yard work, care for pets, shovel snow, or babysitting are easy ways to earn your hours! If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Starkson, LHS Community Service Hours Coordinator, in the Library!

School pictures may be ordered online at online at LHS 2023-24 Lifetouch Order. The FINAL PICTURE RETAKE DAY is Friday, September 29th.
