MASK-OPTIONAL VISITOR POLICY

Fortunately, COVID-19 case numbers within the LPS community have remained very low since the district moved to a "Mask Optional" policy for students and staff on March 7, 2022. As a result, as of April 1, 2022, our masking policy for visitors and spectators transitioned to "Mask Optional" as well. We are no longer requiring masks for visitors or event spectators.
