We want to make it CLEAR that we support and respect everyone, whether they are wearing a mask or not. Bullying or harassment of any kind will not be tolerated.
Please take a moment to talk to your student(s) about this being a choice that each family will make for themselves. This is a safe environment for all students and staff and we want everyone to feel like their personal decision is respected.

Principal
