A Note from Principal Purfurst
Thank you for another great week at Padilla! While I know the addition of masks this week has been challenging for some, I appreciate that we have worked together to ensure that any disagreements that exist around masks are not held in front of our students at school. I'm proud of how well all of our students have handled this transition, both for those who have worn masks from the beginning and those who were not able to wear masks even last week for medical or other reasons. We continue to strive to create an Inclusive community where all are welcomed, regardless of their individual needs.
8/31/2021 UPDATE:
An earlier version of this newsletter laid out 27J Schools' plan for a return to a "masks recommended" policy on September 7th. Following this newsletter's publication, Tri-County Health Department rescinded the ability of counties to opt-out of health mandates related to masks in schools and passed a new requirement that any individual older than 2 years old who is inside a school building must wear a mask. This current mandate goes into effect on September 1st. As a result, all 27J Schools, including Padilla, are required to enforce the Tri-Count Health mask mandate that all students, staff, and visitors wear masks when inside the building. Exemptions for those with certain medical conditions can be provided by filling out this form.
