Extracurricular Activities Fee Waiver
The Technology Use Fee can, if needed, be waived.
"Students who are approved for, or eligible to be approved for, free or reduced price meals may submit a waiver form (available in the building's main office or within the Athletic Department handbook) to the building principal. Upon receipt of the request, the principal will contact the Business Manager for review and verification of eligibility for a waiver. Additionally, any student may request a full or partial waiver of participation fees based upon financial hardship by submitting a waiver form to the building principal. Such requests shall remain confidential to the extent practicable."
Cyber Bullying
The Litchfield Public Schools are committed to safe and friendly environments for all students. The administrators and staff embrace a philosophy "If it's Mean, Intervene!" knowing that, despite our programming, sometimes mean behaviors do occur within our school communities. We recognize it is important to correct these behaviors even when they do not fit the State of Connecticut's much stricter definition of bullying. Mean behaviors which go unchecked, and which clearly violate our provisions for a safe school climate, may ultimately damage the perpetrator, the victim, and the bystander. Below you will find a detail of the Safe School Climate Plan approved by the Board of Education. In addition, you may be interested in these following important documents, the first two of which can help you discuss Bullying or Sexual Harassment in family-friendly terms with your children.
