The Colonial to American Revolution Day (CAR) is an annual all-day event for first grade students. Colonial-related activities are featured in P.E., science, math, English and history classes. Dressed in colonial costumes all day, students learn about “taxation without representation” in their mathematics class, and science covers Ben Franklin’s invention of electricity. History features historical plays written by the first graders with help from their families. The plays are then performed in each respective first grade classroom. After the play performances, LCS hosts an independence picnic on the playground. Click here to read the story.

On April 29, 2013 Loveland Classical Schools' students had the honor of welcoming Mayor Cecil Gutierrez to their school.

The second annual contest was hosted by the Thompson School District in cooperation with the Loveland Public Library. Click here to read the story.

The teachers at LCS highly recommend each family purchase the Summer Bridge Workbooks offered through the LCS Foundation. The Summer Bridge Workbooks provide a wonderful opportunity for your child to review concepts learned throughout this school year, in all of the Core Subjects, which will help to better prepare him/her for the upcoming school year. We recommend you purchase the book, which corresponds to the grade your child is currently completing and will next be entering. For example, if you have a second grade student, you should purchase the Grades 2-3 Bridge Workbook.

All students who return a completed Summer Bridge Workbook within the first week of the next school year will receive a student achievement prize! If you do not have the goldenrod colored order form sent home last week, you may complete the back of this note and return it by this Friday, May 3rd, 2013.

The Elementary English department is also excited to announce that this year we will be able to provide a book to be read during the summer break. It will be required that the books be read by the beginning of the next school year. They should then be returned when school resumes. The books have been chosen by the English teachers to further our curriculum and to provide an opportunity for our students to continue developing their reading skills over summer break. Our students have spent the last nine months building their reading comprehension and fluency skills, and we believe it to be hugely beneficial to continue to practice these skills over the summer months. The elementary English teachers will also be sending a list of reading materials, at various reading levels, which you can use as a guide for finding appropriately leveled books for your child to read. If you have any questions about this or about your child’s reading level, please contact your child’s English teacher or classroom coordinator.

The LCS Foundation is seeking people interested in helping prepare for the second annual Benefit Auction tentatively to be held in March of 2014. There is lots of work to be done and many hands make the task possible. Without a small group of dedicated individuals, the task may be too great for the few to take on alone. Currently, we are looking for approximate time commitments of 10-15 hours per week from Jan - March preparing for the event. If you have the time and interest in this important task, please contact or attend our next Foundation board meeting on Tuesday April 30th at 5:30 PM at LCS in room 204.

At Loveland Classical School on the first night of spring break, more than a dozen students chose to pull an all-nighter to read Homer's "The Iliad" cover to cover.

"When I had the crazy idea, I thought, 'I don't know if they'll do it,'" teacher Aaron Dukette said, who had heard of the idea from classics departments at a few universities around the country.

"Alexander the Great famously carried a copy of the Iliad in a little casket and kept it under his pillow at night with a dagger," added Dukette.

Dukette says he thought it was important for students to be able to read a classic text like this one. The students at Loveland Classical volunteered to spend the night. They fought off sleep, and the next morning, they finished. Click here for the rest of the story and the video.

In his great work Walden the philosopher Henry David Thoreau recounts being told of the plan for a telegraph network which would permit Maine and Texas to communicate. "Maine and Texas, it may be, have nothing to communicate," he wrote. Thoreau's quip takes hits us more squarely in today's age of communication technology. It seems that in proportion to the expansion of such technology the superficiality of our discourse and human relationships has also increased. In a bewildering inundation of "information," we are losing our sense of traditional "wisdom." Much is made of saying many things with great frequency and through many different gadgets, but scant consideration is given to what is worth saying. At Loveland Classical Schools, and in a classical education, it is the Great Ideas and Ultimate Issues which are worthy of being discussed. They liven our minds, open new possibilities for life, and engender our aesthetic, moral, and intellectual sensitivity. The most ancient method of conveying the Great Ideas is the lost art of storytelling. Before the tyranny of the screens-television, computers, cell phones-for millenia people passed time, and wisdom, by telling tales. Click here for more information.

The SAC is a sub-committee of the Board of Directors (BOD) required by the state of Colorado as outlined in CRS 22-11-402. The SAC reports directly to the BOD. Responsibilities include but are not limited to performing evaluations to measure effectiveness, monitor for progress, and provide recommendations for improvement.

The SAC is pleased to report a second year of continued parent satisfaction. The ranking in every core subject was above 4 on a 5 point scale where 1 was the lowest ranking and 5 was the highest ranking. In no category did the average ranking fall below 3.00. However, it should be noted that, of all the academic subjects, rankings either stayed the same or decreased slightly in 8 out of the 10 subjects measured across the last two years. The response rate for this year’s survey also dropped by 19.7%.

Three years ago, Loveland resident Trisha Coberly was preparing her son for kindergarten and signed up for six area charter schools. She was willing to drive long distance for an education she felt would best suit her son -- she applied to schools in Fort Collins, Windsor and Greeley.

None of the schools had openings. When Coberly found other parents in the same predicament, someone had a bold proposal: create a charter and open their own school.

It started with a meeting at Coberly's home attended by about 20 parents.

"We continued to garner up a lot of support and realized that a lot of families were looking for this same type of education," she said. Read more.

Russell Thye climbed a ladder to reach the eyepiece of the historic 24-inch telescope and, with one glove removed, squinted out at the stars.

"It's amazing to be able to see constellations ... I've never seen them before that close," the Loveland man said.

Thye and his daughter, Alethia Thye, visited the Little Thompson Observatory on Thursday during a Loveland Classical Schools first-grade field trip to the Berthoud astronomical observatory.

The students viewed the sky from the 18- and 6-inch telescopes in the west dome, while a few of their parents opted to use the 24-inch telescope in the east dome. That telescope opened to the public Nov. 16 during First Light, the first official viewing through a telescope that coincided with the monthly public star night.

"It's a very high-quality optical telescope with a very large field of view," said Meinte Veldhuis, president of the Little Thompson Observatory, which is operated by the Little Thompson Science Foundation all-volunteer organization. "You can see a wide area of the sky."

Loveland Classical Schools (LCS) firmly believes that adults must be models of good character even in the most difficult situations. Should a parent have a concern, that concern should be resolved using the chain of command. Issues that arise in a particular classroom should always be addressed to the teacher first since the teacher has more direct knowledge of the student.

This process refers to parents' communication of any kind that seeks or requires an action on the part of the school regarding their students. LCS understands that parents have questions, opinions, and comments that need to be expressed concerning their children’s education. Such communication can be very helpful to the running of the school. Click here for more information.

Due to the variability of the reading of the word “formal,” Formal Fridays for the elementary school will be structured such that all clothing must remain in dress code. Please feel free to wear your best attire on Friday; however, clothing not in dress code such as those with logos or of a color not mentioned in the handbook will not be appropriate for the school day.

Students in the upper school will still be allowed to observe Formal Fridays with the understanding that they are in attire better than the normal dress code. For the male students, a button-up shirt, tie, and suit jacket are most welcome. For female students, please consider what you would wear to a job interview for a CEO position at a Fortune 500 company. Please bring a separate set of clothes if you are unsure.
