Littleton Public Schools and Arapahoe County recently identified an issue with an address list that resulted in the omission of the Littleton Public Schools – School Director-At-Large contest from 59 mailed ballots.
Once the omission was identified, the County issued corrected ballots and contacted all affected voters via mail. County staff members also contacted voters via email and telephone, when possible.
Affected voters can vote and return their new, corrected ballot. If they have already returned the inaccurate ballot, it will be voided and the new ballot counted. Only one ballot per voter will be counted.
All ballots must be returned to a drop box or vote center no later than 7 p.m. on Nov. 4.
Every elector has the right to make their voice heard in contests for which they are eligible, and we make every effort to make certain that voter voices are heard.
If you have questions, please call Arapahoe County at 303-795-4511 or email at elections@arapahoegov.com.
Tours Dates: November 5th, 7:30-8:00 am and December 9th ,3:00-3:30
Kindergarten Information Night, January 8, 2026 5:30-6:30pm
Whether it's our operations staff clearing inches of snow in the winter, our custodial team working diligently to maintain our learning environments, or the vigilant security professionals ensuring our safety, each plays a vital role in keeping our district safe, clean, and operational. We are so grateful for each and every one of them, and we thank them for their service to LPS’s students, families, and community.
Please join us in thanking our classified employees this week!

We recognize this is a change and we apologize in advance for any inconvenience this causes for families. At Ford Elementary we strive to maintain the highest standards for safety and security for each and every child. We have also changed our back entryway procedures by placing an extra crossing guard to our East entrance gate, and we will be locking that exterior gate from the outside between the hours of 7:45 AM and 2:30 PM to further secure our students and staff during the school day. On Wednesdays only, the gate will be locked at 8:45 AM to account for the late start. Please see the map below to identify the two locations we are speaking of; they are currently identified as Northside Entrance, and Eastside Walking Entrance. If you have any questions about these adjustments to our entry and exit procedures, I am happy to field any and all wonderings by email or phone call.
Colin Lynch,
Principal
