LHS TIGER TALK
January 6, 2023
Good Afternoon Loveland High School Families,
We’re back! On behalf of the LHS staff we hope you had a restful and happy holiday season. We are so excited to be back and have had a great 4 day week!
As we start a new semester, please continue to encourage your student to connect with their teachers. Second semester is always the busiest so be ready for lots of upcoming events!
Have a great weekend,
Adam Reed, Brian Conatser, Mary Beth Corbin, and Rich Bryant
An Important Message from our School Nurse
I am sure by now most have you have seen or heard of the Buffalo Bills Safety, Damar Hamlin, going into sudden cardiac arrest on the football field at Paycor Stadium Monday night. This situation is rare, but clearly not unheard of. Damar is a 24 year old athlete, with no known medical history. I just saw an update that said Damar has woken up, and he is responsive. Which in itself, is a miracle. This is certainly due to the quick response and recognition of the medical staff present on the field. CPR was started immediately and an AED was readily available. This response and preparedness, undoubtedly, saved his life. For every minute that CPR is delayed, a person's chance of survival is decreased by 10%.
Over the last few years, Loveland implemented a partnership with Cincinnati Children's Hospital Department of Cardiology and Project ADAM to take the necessary steps to become a 'heart safe' school. Last year, we were designated as the first 'heart safe' school in the Cincinnati Area. Stories like Damar's make me thankful that we have a district who prioritizes staff and student safety. This is a testament to why we feel it IMPERATIVE to have a plan of action, CPR trained staff and coaches, and an AED within 2-3 minutes of anywhere in the building. SCA can happen anywhere, at any time, to anyone . Recognition is the first step to survival.
I thought this would be a good time just to quickly review the location of our AED's in the building. Loveland High School has three AED's located throughout the building:
2nd floor-outside the main office
3rd floor-in the math hallway
Outside of the athletic training room on the wall.
If you have any questions about our medical response plan. AED's, CPR, etc. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me. Thank you!
Winter Dance is On for Tonight!
The student council will transform the cafeteria into a "Night at the Disco”-complete with a shimmering mirror ball! Dress for the dance is casual, since students will be coming from the basketball games!
If you have any questions please contact Mrs. Renner at rennerbe@lovelandschools.org or at (513) 697-3701.

College Credit Plus Meeting is January 25
The College Credit Plus (CCP) program has been established by the Ohio Department of Higher Education to enhance students' college and career readiness and postsecondary options. The CCP program enables college-ready, 7-12 grade students who qualify for college admission to take college-level courses. Students may earn both high school and transcripted college credit upon successful completion of coursework. If you are interested in learning more about CCP, please come and join the LHS counselors for the annual CCP meeting on January 25, 2023, at 6:30 pm in the LHS Auditorium. We strongly encourage students to attend this event. There will be a brief overview of the program as well as tables set up with any of the local colleges being represented. The college representatives will be able to share their college-specific information. If you are unable to attend the meeting, there will be a presentation posted on the LHS College Credit Plus Google Site.

Important News from the Office of School Counseling
Attention juniors, sophomores and freshman: Now is the time to review your Four Year Graduation Plan. The effort to explore options, then make tentative plans is worth it as pathways to success unfold. We trust that this information can serve as a guide in the years to come.
Reviewing your plan annually is required by the Ohio Department of Education. Here are the steps that we use in advisory to complete this process:
+ Log into Naviance (from the "waffle" in Clever when in the student Google account), click on Self-Discovery then review the score report from the assessment that you took earlier this year; review any personally relevant career information.
+ Click on the title of careers that are most interesting to you; reflect on (or review) the steps necessary to obtain licences, certificates or other types of credentials for these careers.
+ Using that information, please take a look at the Loveland specific pathways that are connected to these career options - Loveland Career Pathways
The pathway documents can be used to help with reviewing the Four Year Plan.
+ Next, please open your Loveland student email; type your name then the words “Four Year Plan” in the “Search in mail” bar to find your individualized plan.
Students who have completed a plan in the past will find a PDF of their previous work; students who haven’t completed the plan will begin this process now.
+ Lastly, simply click on the appropriate link below to update/complete the Four Year Plan:
Anyone who is interested in additional information about completing the plan is encouraged to watch this video - 2023 Four Year Plan Review - Step by Step
Please note: this is a planning tool; it is not meant to be a scheduling tool. The Four Year Plan update will allow students to reflect on future considerations. Look at this as a rough draft of the academic opportunities at LHS and beyond. The due date for completion is Friday, February 3.
Specific course scheduling information will be shared later in January. Feel free to reach out to your counselor with any questions.
