THE LOVETT SCHOOL COMMUNITY EXPECTS FULL PARTICIPATION BY ITS MEMBERS IN ALL ASPECTS OF SCHOOL LIFE. We will evaluate our community service, service learning, and co-curricular programs to ensure such programs are well integrated into the school. We will encourage our parents and our faculty to take an active part in these programs.

A sampling of initiatives already underway:
Work began in the summer of 2007 to renovate the Black Box into a full experimental performance space to be known as the Woodward Theater. This new theater features options for multiple seating configurations, as well as complete professional theatrical lighting, sound, and projection systems. This new theater will be used for scene presentations, small productions and assemblies, and as a teaching space for theater and technical theater classes. The Woodward Theater allows Lovett to host more after-school productions; offers an available space for students to learn about lighting, sound, and set work; and provides an intimate setting in which students can present their work. In short, thanks to these improvements, Lovett can serve a greater number of students.

Other selected strategies:

• Provide adequate facilities and resources to enable all students to be off campus by 7:15 PM, with rare exceptions.
• Keep overlap of co-curricular activities to a minimum.
• Establish a written evaluation for all co-curricular programs and sponsors.
• Communicate school and parent expectations and responsibilities to all parents.
• Lessen our reliance on community coaches for athletics.
