Traffic around LECC might be a bit slow at pickup today due to some groundwork being done outside the building. Traffic will flow from NORTH to SOUTH and you can exit onto Tyler avenue . If law enforcement is present, follow their traffic redirections. Your patience is appreciated.

On Monday, September 23 Litchfield Early Childhood Center will practice our yearly School safety drill. If you would not like your child to participate, please notify your child's teacher or contact the main office at (217)324-2851.

Dear Purple Panther Nation, I apologize for the early morning message, but I wanted to address some concerns circulating on social media regarding a potential threat. Late last night, I was made aware of a screenshot being shared on social media. The Litchfield Police were immediately contacted and began investigating. While we understand the anxiety this may cause, I want to assure you that after a thorough investigation, our local law enforcement has shared that they have no reason to believe that this recent communication is connected to our district or the original situation we dealt with last week. The safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our top priority. The police have been vigilant in their efforts and have reassured us that there is no credible threat to our schools at this time. We continue to work closely with them to monitor the situation and ensure that all safety protocols are in place. As always, our schools will be open, and we look forward to welcoming your children today. Our staff is prepared and committed to maintaining a safe and secure learning environment. We ask that you contact the school district or the Lichfield Police Department immediately if you hear of any concerns about the safety of our schools or students. See Something, Say Something. It helps us all work together to ensure the safety of our students and staff. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. We greatly appreciate your trust and cooperation. Sincerely, Kelly McClain, Ed.D. Superintendent

There will be some road construction on Chestnut Street only on the stretch of road next to the school. Friday they will grind off the surface. Tuesday they will add blacktop. They are going to do their best to keep roads open during drop off and pickup times. If you are visiting in between those times, plan to park on BUCHANAN street and walk in to the office. They will provide traffic direction if work is still going on during beginning and end of days.

Purple Panther Nation: Please see the document link highlighting information from last night's BOE meeting. We are excited to have students back in our buildings with staff eager to help them learn and grow! Meet and Greet with Dr. McClain tomorrow and next Tuesday. LECC Open House next Monday.
