LECC TIGER TALK
Loveland Early Childhood Center eNewsletter August 27, 2021
Happy Friday!
Hello LECC Tiger Cub Families!
I hope this email finds you well! This week has been a blast working with our LECC Team to continue to support our KG Tiger Cubs as they navigate school! We have had fun finding our way around the building, finding our spots to sit at lunch, and playing basketball out on the playground. We are looking forward to our PS Tiger Cubs starting next week. Our building is almost complete!
Thank you to all our families who attended PS Preview Night last evening. It was a bit rainy, yet it was so nice to see you all! A few reminders about the staggered start for PS are listed below for you to reference.
Staggered First Day Assignments for Preschool!
Preschool=
08/30/2021: First day of PS for assigned students.*
08/31/2021: First day of PS for assigned students.*
09/01/2021: ALL Preschool students attend their AM or PM session.
(*Please reach out to your PS Tiger Cub teacher if you are unsure which staggered start day your child attends!)
I want to take a moment to thank our families for transitioning to our LECC Tiger Cubs wearing masks this week. I know it was a quick turnaround from last Friday's Board meeting. Yet our Tiger Cubs and staff worked through this change in routine well. We appreciate your continued help in keeping our building safe and healthy!
Please enjoy this week's story, There's a Monster in Your Book, by Tom Fletcher. I had a lot of fun reading this book. And I hope your Tiger Cub has fun following along with me! Have a great weekend! Take care!
It’s a great day to be a Tiger Cub!

Updated Loveland City Schools Mask Policy for Students and Staff at LECC
Students in grades PreK-6 will be required to wear a mask indoors. Students in grades 7-12 will be strongly encouraged to wear a mask, but the parental choice will remain in effect. Our staff will be masking PreK-12.
A reminder that masks will continue to be mandatory on our school buses due to federal requirements for public transportation.
