LECC TIGER TALK
LECC eNewsletter February 11, 2022
Hello LECC Tiger Cub Families!
We hope this email finds you well! This week at LECC was extra special with the bursts of school spirit and love for all things Loveland and Cincinnati! We appreciated our LECC Tiger Cub families that stopped by our tables at the School Showcase on Wednesday evening to say hello and interact with our presentations. I know our teachers loved catching up with former students too! Winter KG Conferences occurred on Thursday evening here for KG students. Thank you to LEPTA for providing a warm meal to our team members during conference night. Finally, a special shout out of appreciation to our school counselor, Mrs. Heybruch, during National School Counseling Week this week. She is truly an advocate and cheerleader for our Tiger Cubs here at LECC! We are proud and thankful that she is part of our LECC Team.
Looking into next week, we are off on Monday, February 14 for Snow Dey! In addition, the LECC Magazine Sales Drive is in full swing. You can find more details below in this Tiger Talk. Finally, don't forget to follow our LECC Twitter page to check out and keep up to date on all things LECC!
This week's virtual story is Fuzzy, Inside and Out, by Zachariah Ohora. LECC Tiger Cubs can join me as we follow Fuzzy Haskins on a kindness run to share cookies with his friend, Elise!
It’s a great day to be a LECC Tiger Cub!

COVID Updates for LECC (as of 01/31/2022)
Effective Monday, January 31, 2022, our masking policy will change to mask-optional for all students. This means our students in PreK-6, who were previously expected to mask, will now be mask-optional like our older students. The Ohio Department of Health has also said that schools are no longer required to do contact tracing, according to a memo you can read in full by following this link.
Going forward, the only time our staff will do contact tracing is when it is requested by Hamilton County Public Health or ODH because of an outbreak or cluster of COVID cases in one of our buildings.
Masks will still be required on all of our buses, per federal guidelines. Masking will continue to be recommended in our buildings. Families will still need to keep students home when they are sick and notify the school if they test positive for COVID-19. We will still be keeping track of seating assignments, maximizing physical distance, encouraging handwashing, and making sure our buildings are clean.
You can read more by following this link to our website.
Reminders for our Bus Riders
2021-22 School Year Yearbooks- Deadline to order is March 7th 2022
We will have a few to purchase at the end of year but they will be on a first come~ first serve basis.
Lost & Found~ Missing Something????
Please see the picture below for lost & found items. If anything looks familiar, please call the office and we can get it back to your child.
As always, please put your child's name inside (hats, gloves, coats, etc.). This will help us get them back to the right owners. We ask that all toys, dolls, etc. stay home. Anyone want to claim the adorable black gorilla in the right corner?
Loveland City Schools Wants Your Input!
We have launched a Strategic Vision process here in Loveland City Schools. If you did not have a chance to attend a Community Input Session during Showcase Night on Wednesday, it’s not too late to get involved. Follow this link to fill out a quick survey about our Portrait of a Tiger. The Portrait of a Tiger was created with community input and will be an important part of our Strategic Vision as we work on it over the next few months. We have another Community Input Session on Wednesday, February 23, 2022, at 6:00 pm in the Loveland Middle School Cafeteria. Please join us. If you’re not able to attend, please visit www.lovelandschools.org/vision for ways you can continue to give us feedback!
