Dear Huskies,
Welcome back from what we hope was a fun and relaxing February break! As a reminder, masks are optional for students and teachers beginning Monday, February 28th. A few reminders from Principal Snowden:
- Masks are not required on school buses and vans. This also applies to any vehicles chartered by the District for student transportation.
- Seating charts will not be determined by student preference to wear or not wear a mask
- Students wearing a mask will be responsible for their own consistent mask wearing
- Good hygiene practices, like hand washing at meal times, will continue to be a part of the school day
- Teachers and school staff will continue to monitor student social and emotional wellness, especially during this transition
In preparing for this transition to a mask-optional practice, we ask that you have some conversations with your child(ren) prior to Monday the 28th that include:
- What your family practices will be for wearing or not wearing masks
- The fact that there may be students in your child(ren)’s class who may be wearing or not wearing masks based on their family’s choice
- Students and families are making decisions that are best for their own situation, health, and/or comfort level, and all choices are acceptable
As always, feel free to contact us with any questions and/or concerns.
Jess & Mary
