Principal's Message
Tiger Families,
It's been another great week at LIS. We are hoping for more of those sunny and 60 degrees days then the rainy and 40 degree days in the future. With the warm weather, we are hoping our classes can take advantage of our new outdoor classroom (down by the board office). We are excited to give our students the opportunity to get a change of scenery, some fresh air and learn outside.
5th Grade Families: If you would like to provide input for your students class placement for the 2024-2025 school year, please complete the questionnaire linked below. Also, please be sure to check out the information for our upcoming Music Open House/Concerts & Art Show. This is a great opportunity to learn about the music choices for 6th grade and check out your students art projects.
Have a great weekend! Go Tigers!

A Message from LIS Clinic for 6th Grade Parents
All students are required to have Tdap and meningitis vaccines prior to the start of the school year going into 7th grade.

We accept any documentation the health care provider gives you and you can even get a copy from "My Chart". Please contact Tonya Morrison in the clinic if you have any questions/ need resources, or email her at morristo@lovelandschools.org

Science Day- Presenters NEEDED!
Do you love science? Have a science-based career? Or maybe a cool hobby?
We are currently looking for presenters for our LIS Science Day on Thursday, March 21st, from 7:45 am until 1:45 pm. (Lunch will be provided) Our theme for the year is Science is CURIOSITY.
The idea would be to present a topic of your choice, involving science, for about 40 minutes to 5 different groups of students. Each homeroom group has about 28 kids. Your presentation could be anything from a lesson to a demonstration to an explanation of your job, etc. Possibilities are endless and we are happy to help along the way. We're wanting to engage students and get their brainy gears churning.
We can only pull off this day if we obtain enough presenters. Even if it’s not you, maybe it’s a coworker or a neighbor or a family member that can help make this day a huge success; please connect us.
Feel free to email or call/text Sudeepa Hall at hallz6521@gmail.com or 937-367-9218.
