The Loveland City School District has two platforms for mass, direct communication:
•
Sign Up for News and Calendar Events – a system the district uses to communicate district and building news and events to parents and students through a once-a-week (Sunday) email distribution.
•
School Alerts – a system the district utilizes in the event of an emergency or closing; this system has the capability to distribute email, text, and voice message alerts.
These are separate systems that require unique accounts.SIGN UP FOR NEWSIf you are interested in keeping up with school/district news headlines and calendar events by receiving a once-a-week summary,

SCHOOL ALERTSThis is the only system that will distribute direct emergency and closing information.Emergency and closing information will also be posted on the district website (www.lovelandschools.org) and on the district social media sites, which all members of the Tiger Family are encouraged to follow: Facebook (Loveland City Schools), Twitter (@lovelandtigers).
In an effort to reduce confusion regarding sign up procedures for the Loveland City School District alert notification system, the district has the system default to automatic sign up, and is directly connected to the information on the Emergency Medical Authorization (EMA) form.
Please note: The district only engages the alert notification system during school closures or during emergency situations; work phone numbers entered into the EMA will not be contacted. While closings due to inclement weather situations are communicated multiple ways, the district needs the ability to alert you quickly in a possible emergency situation. This is why it is of paramount importance that you are signed up for alerts, and that you keep your EMA forms up to date.
If you do NOT wish to receive the alert notifications, you will need to “opt out” of the system. Please
