REMINDERS
Loveland Environmental Club Seeking Volunteers
Loveland High School's very own nature preserve needs you! The Loveland Environmental Club is recruiting volunteers to help remove non-native invasive shrubs and trees between the band and softball fields at LHS. On Saturday, March 9th, we will meet at 9:00 a.m. and wrap up at 2:00 p.m. Lunch will be provided. You can have a great time helping nature with friends while getting a workout too! Service hours are available for those who seek them.
We are especially in need of ADULT chainsaw operators* to help efficiently clear these small trees in preparation for habitat restoration with native plants. This effort will help create a healthy nature preserve that can be enjoyed and appreciated by the current and future LHS community.
*Note: Chainsaws can only be operated by adults over 20.
Please fill out this form to RSVP and sign the consent form. Paper copies are also available here at school.
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 will fill out a selection form during advisory on March 21, choosing an activity that will best assist them with making plans for after high school. Please be sure to discuss this with your student before then. 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!
Paid Summer IT Internship
Is your student interested in Information Technology? Would you like them to gain valuable real-world experience? We have the opportunity for them! INTERalliance is offering PAID, IT focused internships this summer. Loveland City Schools is one of the providers. Students will work with Forward Edge to make a difference with technology readiness for the 2024-25 school year. Please see this link for more information and to apply.
