Litchfield Middle School

Litchfield Middle School will be administering a student well-being screener called Screening Linked to Care (SLTC) on February 27, 2026.

The SLTC serves the same purpose as the BESS (Behavioral and Emotional Screening System) and will be used this spring in place of the BESS. This screening helps us better understand and support students’ social-emotional well-being.

Please check your email for a letter explaining the program. The letter also includes an opt-out form should you choose not to have your child participate.

If you previously submitted an opt-out form for the BESS, you do not need to submit an additional opt-out for the SLTC.

If you have any questions, please contact the school office.

Thank you for your continued partnership in supporting our students.

Parents and 8th grade students are invited to an informational meeting about registering for high school classes on Wednesday, January 21st at 6:30 pm. We will meet at the Litchfield Unit Office located at 1100 North Old Route 66. Students will be given registration information at school on the 15th. Look for that to come home and you can bring completed registration paperwork back to our meeting on the 21st.

For anyone who has not yet completed registration for the 25-26 school year, your opportunity has been extended through August 6th. Building secretaries are now back in the buildings and are happy to answer any registration questions you may have!

Purple Panther Nation, much to the smiles of students across the district....we are OFFICIALLY taking an E Learning day due to the forecast of snow during the morning hours that may impact the afternoon commute on top of our current conditions. While this is a hard call to make with snow just starting in the area, there are varied reports of accumulation of 1 to 4 inches. The current road conditions are still spotty and we are unsure of the impact of the potential snow. We will err on the side of caution. I hope everyone stays safe and warm (while maybe playing in the snow some, too!). Have a great day.
