Recess Mask Update

Please read the Recess Mask Update from Mr. Zielinski:
After reviewing the new MDHHS orders in effect from today until at least the end of May with central office- effective Monday, masks will no longer be required after exiting the building for recess.  Students and staff must put their mask on before re-entering the building.
Parents can choose to instruct their child to continue to wear a mask outside, if desired. If anything should change from the MDHHS in terms of this order, we would adhere to the new order immediately.
Masks still need to be worn at arrival and dismissal outside
The order language for exceptions to the mask rule:
Are at an outdoor gathering with fewer than 100 persons, unless otherwise required to mask as an organized sport participant under Section 6(a).
