LECC WEEKLY TIGER CUB TALK
August 26, 2022
I hope this email finds you well! We welcomed the incoming Preschool Tiger Cubs at our Preview Event this past Wednesday. Our PS Tiger Cubs were able to drop off their supplies, explore the classroom, and meet the team of amazing educators that support our PS Program. In addition, we completed our first safety drill here at LECC with the assistance of the Loveland Fire Department on the afternoon of August 23rd. Our Tiger Cubs received many compliments for a speedy, safe exit from the firefighters. We will complete an additional required LFD-supported fire drill in the coming weeks.
Looking into next week, we cannot wait to greet our PS Tiger Cubs for their first week of school. As a reminder, we do have a staggered start for PS, just like K-12 grades. On Monday, August 29th, PS Tiger Cubs with the last name starting with A-L will attend their AM or PM cohort session only. On Tuesday, August 30th, PS Tiger Cubs with the last name starting with M-Z will attend their AM or PM cohort session only. Then on Wednesday, August 31st, all PS Tiger Cubs will join us for their AM or PM cohort session!
Like Kindergarten students, PS students will walk from the car rider line or bus area with LECC staff helping them navigate to their classrooms. We are unable to facilitate parents/guardians in the building to walk to the classroom with their student. This established routine helps our PS Tiger Cubs with the development of navigating our building and entering their amazing classroom ready to learn and play. We are excited to have our LECC campus complete with our PS and KG Tiger Cubs starting next week!
Please check out the rest of this week's Tiger Cub Talk for helpful information from our LECC Team! Enjoy your weekend! It is a great day to be a LECC Tiger Cub! Thank you!

LECC Tiger Cub Car Riders Reminders

- Cars must stay within the coned loop during the arrival process and not pull around cars in front of you.
- Display numbered vehicle tag on your mirror for our staff to radio into the building.
- If you need a vehicle tag, please contact the front office for one.
