Where and when will my student have to wear a mask?
- Students aged 10 and under: Students are encouraged to wear masks when riding the bus, entering and exiting buildings, moving through buildings, and not able to maintain social distancing. Students may remove their mask when they are seated in their classroom, eating lunch, or outside the school building.
- Students aged 11 and over: Students are required to wear masks when riding the bus, entering and exiting buildings, moving through buildings, and not able to maintain social distancing. Students may remove their mask when they are seated in their classroom, eating lunch, or outside the school building.
- Adults: Staff and visitors are required to wear masks when riding the bus, entering and exiting buildings, moving through buildings, and not able to maintain social distancing. Adults may remove their mask when they are seated in their work space, eating lunch, or outside the school building.
- Exceptions: Considerations will be given to staff and students who are unable to wear a mask due to health concerns with documentation from a medical provider. If a student is not able to wear a mask, they may be asked to wear an item, such as a wristband or face shield, to identify them as an approved non-mask wearing student. Considerations will also be given to individuals who are hearing-impaired or otherwise disabled or who are communicating with someone who is hearing impaired or otherwise disabled and where the ability to see the mouth is essential to communication.
- Students and staff should provide their own masks. There will be a limited number of disposable masks available at the school for distribution.
- Masks must adhere to the district’s dress code policy.
