LHS TIGER TALK
January 27, 2023
Good Afternoon Loveland High School Families,
We had another great 4 day week here at LHS!
On Monday, LHS showed their support for Childhood Cancer Awareness by wearing orange on Monday. Also on Monday, yearbook students were busy as they took club and group pictures for the yearbook.
Throughout the week, scheduling continued to be a major focus for students and our staff. Today, students turned in their course selection guides to their first bell teacher. Please double check with your student to make sure this was done. On Wednesday evening, Ms. Hamilton and the counseling department shared information regarding College Credit Plus. All scheduling information can be found by clicking here.
A special thank you to our amazing PTO and Biggby Coffee for the hot beverages on Tuesday! We are grateful for your support and excellent beverages!
Have a great weekend,
Adam Reed, Brian Conatser, Mary Beth Corbin, and Rich Bryant

High School Transportation Help
There is a PARENT LED initiative to use a ride-share app to help families get their high school students to school. We need to group areas of the district together for the app as well as gauge the interest of both riders and drivers. If you are interested, please fill out the Ride Share Interest Form. This is not a Loveland City Schools initiative, but we would like to assist in connecting families with this potential resource.
Volunteers Needed For Loveland Late Nite
To be able to offer a safe place for our students to congregate after going to prom, the Loveland PTO Late Nite Committee is in need of parent volunteers to join the planning committee. There are several areas to get involved in - decorating, donations, sponsors, fundraising, activities, prizes and food. If you are interested in helping please email at lovelandhighafterprom@gmail.com. You can be a parent/guardian of any student who is a freshman through senior to help with after prom. Freshmen and sophomore parents are encouraged to join! Please help to make this year’s Loveland Late Nite the best one yet! Planning starting soon.
Thank you for your support!

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.
