Kindness & Respect with Masking Updates
Superintendent Dr. Adam Clark reviewed the new guidance at the March 9th Board meeting, noting that school staff, students and visitors can choose to continue wearing masks if they feel safer doing so.
Students and staff in K-12 schools and childcare settings in Contra Costa County will no longer be required by the State to wear masks indoors starting Saturday, March 12th, although masking will continue to be strongly recommended. State health officials announced the upcoming shift in school masking policy on February 28th, as COVID case and hospitalization rates continued to rapidly decline.
To mask/unmask is a family decision and we respect all choices. All families have different reasons for masking/unmasking, and we respect each other at Holbrook even if we make different choices from someone else
If someone asks your child about your family choice, they can say...
- "My family made the choice to not wear masks."
- "My family made the choice to keep wearing masks."
There is no need to say anything else.
There are things we will ALL be doing to stay safe:
- We will still be washing hands and sanitizing.
- We will still cover our mouths with our elbows to sneeze/cough.
- We will still respect people’s personal space bubbles.
Additionally, we will still provide masks for anyone who needs a mask, and our MDUSD testing sites are still open.
Thank you!
