Face Coverings Will Be Optional Beginning March 14th
The CDC recommendation is to: Stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines, and Get tested if you have symptoms.
This is great news and we progress to a mask optional environment on Monday, March 14th. Please remember it is still vital to keep your student home when they are sick and to let your school know when there is a COVID illness in your household. Each school has on site COVID testing and at home tests available.
If you would like to be entertained and up to date on health related topics in our district you can follow District Nurse Damaris Bishop on instagram @jcnursebishop
