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.
In an effort to prevent the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19), LPS will be closed from Monday, March 16, 2020 through the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year.
