Our Commitment to Health and Safety
Littleton Public Schools continues to work with our local public health agencies as we monitor the global outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). The health and safety of all of our students and staff continues to be our first priority in the wake of this evolving situation. We encourage everyone in our school communities to listen to facts and not respond to fear.
Request for Exemption for Wearing a Mask
Parents may complete this form to request approval for an exemption for wearing a mask in school. The TriCounty Public Health Order specifically states that exemptions may only be granted if a student is unable to medically tolerate a face covering. Documentation is required to support this. Documentation must include 1) Medical provider’s printed name, license number, address, phone number on the provider's letterhead (not prescription pad) 2) Signature of the medical provider and 3) Identification of the medical condition preventing the individual from wearing a mask and any recommended alternative to the mask.
