MASK RECOMMENDATION UPDATE
Just a few reminders about our new masking recommendations for this week. This information was sent out to families on 2/4/22.
Please notify your child's teacher if you want your child to wear their mask throughout the school day. **Please note that Early Childhood and 4K students are still required to wear masks.
If your child rides the bus, masks are required on the bus.
Check emails as the status of masking may change week to week based upon our positivity rate.
Reach out to the school with any additional questions. Thank you for your continued support!
