Safety & Security
The Litchfield Elementary School District Safety and Security Department is committed to providing a safe learning and working environment for all students, staff, and visitors. The Security Department supports all the District’s security needs ranging from securing the District’s assets, emergency planning, as well as developing and implementing new innovative safety and security related protocols.
Our plans are scalable, flexible and adaptable to meet the evolving needs of our students, campuses and District. They are routinely reviewed, optimized and practiced to ensure that if an incident should occur, our staff, students, parents and authorities are familiar with the procedures, the facility and their role in maintaining the safety of our campuses to ensure that everyone goes home safe at the end of the day.
Keep Your Student's Emergency Contacts Updated
In order to ensure that we can communicate with families regarding their student, or in case of an emergency, it is essential that families keep their emergency contact information up to date in their ParentVue account. Please contact your student's school directly for assistance with your ParentVue account.
