Mandatory face coverings for all pre-K through 6th grade students, staff, visitors and volunteers from Monday, August 9, 2021; grades 7-12 by vaccination status; students and staff exposed while wearing face coverings 'would not need quarantine and could continue in-person learning.' Superintendent Joel: 'Students under the age of 12 do not have the option to be vaccinated, and therefore we must implement other' measures.
