• Students will have access to hand sanitizer in the classrooms, the weight room and hand washing will be encouraged.
• Masks will be optional for students and staff.  While they are recommended for staff and students ages 12 and above that are not vaccinated, this will be a personal/family decision at this time if he or she will wear a mask.
• Under current federal orders, students and staff are required to wear masks on school buses, whether vaccinated or not, until September 13, 2021, at which time the order may end or possibly extended.
• The current recommendations, laws and guidelines seem to be changing almost daily.  We will continue to evaluate masking guidance and other protocols throughout the school year and will adapt them as necessary based on the guidance from our health officials.
