Masks in Schools
As a reminder, the CT Department of Health, along with the CT State Department of Education clarified that “the current rule requiring universal mask wearing for all individuals in all school buildings will remain in place at this time.” However, students will not be required to wear masks outside during times such as recess. Masks are only required outdoors if students are stationary and in close proximity.
Covid Reminder
As a reminder, if someone in your home is symptomatic and awaiting results of a COVID-19 test, please keep your child at home until results are final. We understand that many families proactively test for work or other reasons, and this type of proactive testing for asymptomatic individuals does not require keeping your child at home.
Together in Safety and Learning,
Mrs. Michaelson & Mrs. Eisenstein
