LHS TIGER TALK
March 22, 2024
LHS Parents,
Spring Break
I hope every family has an enjoyable and relaxing Spring Break. I know many have plans to travel and get away for a few days. Please be safe in your travels. If your child(ren) are traveling with friends, please take time to emphasize the importance of making good and safe choices. I am sure all of you do that often, but it never hurts to throw one more reminder in there.
Hopefully the students will all be re-energized when they return as it gets very busy over the last weeks remaining in the school year with AP testing, EOC exams, prom, the musical performances, concerts, spring sports, awards programs, final exams, and graduation. Whew!
Most importantly, enjoy each other!

Attention Senior Parents!
Lawn Signs were delivered to the high school yesterday and were passed out in Advisory and during lunch. If you ordered a lawn sign and didn't get it, please have your student pick it up in the main office after Spring Break.
Signs can still be ordered but will need to be picked up directly from RP Diamond. They are offering one-sided for $15 and two-sided for $20. All signs must be purchased online using this link.

Exploration Wednesday 2024
Each school year Loveland High School pauses from its usual processes to give students an opportunity to learn through community service and personal growth activities. The date for this in 2024-25 will be Wednesday, October 9. The seniors (class of 2025) will participate in either community service, a college visit or a career shadow. The freshman (class of 2028) will participate in job shadowing. The sophomores and juniors (classes of 2026 and 2027) get to choose from one of the following options:
ASVAB Career Exploration Program
Not just for those who are planning on serving our nation in the military, the ASVAB is a valuable career assessment that can help students to compare their results with the career research that is done in Naviance. While there is no obligation to pursue military service for any student who opts to take the ASVAB, this assessment can help those who are considering enlisting to make plans for specific jobs in the service. Please see this link for more information.
Practice ACT
Taking a practice ACT can help those students who are interested in experiencing a college readiness assessment that will lead to suggestions for future improvement. Provided by LEAP, students will take a retired ACT test in order to learn about what to expect when sitting for an official test session. Score reports will be emailed directly to the students. See this link for a sample report - Sample ACT Diagnostic Report
PSAT
The PSAT serves as the preliminary SAT and also serves as the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (when taken in 11th grade). Students who choose this option will have access to free, personalized online prep tools for the SAT by linking their College Board accounts with Khan Academy. Taking this assessment in both grades 10 and 11 will allow for a measurement of college readiness growth. Please see this link for more information.
WorkKeys
WorkKeys is an assessment for students who are considering earning an industry-recognized credential while in high school. Students who choose this option will be assessed in Applied Math, Graphic Literacy and Workplace Documents. Any student who is giving consideration to attending Great Oaks or going into the workforce after high school is encouraged to choose this option. Please see this link for more information.
Members of the classes of 2026 and 2027 filled out a selection form during advisory on March 21, and chose an activity that will best assist them with making plans for after high school. Please be sure to discuss with your student which option they chose. The form will remain open until Tuesday, April 2. A selection will be made on the student’s behalf for anyone who does not complete the Google form. Please contact Mr. Mitchell at mitchedr@lovelandschools.org with any questions. Thank you!
**Adjusted Bell Schedule 4/10 & 4/11 and 4/16 through 4/19**
Starting Wednesday, April 10th, students in grades 9-11 will begin to take the statewide End of Course Exams (EOCs). LHS will run on a Modified Testing Bell Schedule on Wednesday, April 10th, Thursday, April 11th, and Tuesday through Friday, April 16th through the 19th. Having students attend school on their specific testing days is extremely important.
All information regarding EOC testing is being communicated to students at school. However, here are a few reminders for the students who will be testing:
1) Students must bring their FULLY CHARGED chromebook to school. If they do not have a school issued chromebook, one will be provided to them for the test.
2) CELL PHONES must be turned off and put away for the entire duration of the test.
3) Plug in wired headphones are permitted for each of the tests EXCEPT for English 10.
4) A roster containing the names of the students, date and name of the test, and the room number of where the student is to report on the specific test day has been posted outside the cafeteria.
Students who are not testing on a specific day are not required to come to school until 1st Bell. We understand that this modified schedule could cause transportation issues for students. The high school will be open to any students who are not testing at the regular drop off time. Students reporting at regular time and not testing will report to the cafeteria and can use the time to work on assignments.
LHS Summer School 2024
