Letter from Superintended Gunning
September 29, 2021
Dear Litchfield Elementary School District Families,
In its continued efforts to promote health and safety, our Governing Board voted last night to continue our current practice of requiring face coverings for adults and children inside all Litchfield Elementary School District schools and facilities.
Here are some important details:
● Face coverings are required inside of all LESD schools and facilities, until 12-17-2021.
● Opt out forms for students and adults are available on our website. Opt out forms that have already been
submitted are still in effect.
● Face coverings on school buses are required based on a federal mandate; there is no option to opt out.
● Maricopa County Department of Public Health mandates quarantines in certain cases of exposure to
someone who tested positive for COVID-19. Face coverings reduce the odds of your child having to
quarantine.
● Vaccinated children do not need to quarantine/isolate unless they are showing symptoms of illness or
have tested positive for COVID-19.
● The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends universal indoor masking for all
teachers, staff, students, and visitors - regardless of vaccination status.
● Frequent hand washing, physical distancing, and consistent healthy habits are encouraged to mitigate the
spread of COVID and communicable diseases.
● For your convenience, our updated COVID-19 FAQs are attached and on our website.
Please contact your child’s school office with questions. Thank you for choosing Litchfield Elementary School
District.
Your partner in education,
Jodi Gunning, M.Ed.
