Board lifts mask requirement
Recommendation will begin on Monday, February 21, 2022.
After reviewing and discussing recent COVID-19 data and information, the Board of Trustees voted to extend the mask requirement for all students and staff through Friday, February 18, 2022.
Beginning Monday, February 21, 2022, masks will be recommended.
The Board will continue to review COVID-19 data and absentee reports for both students and staff. Trustees will revisit the mask expectation in the coming weeks if necessary.
Trustees also voted to lift the mask requirement for visitors beginning Monday, February 21, 2022. Masks will be recommended for individuals who are visiting a school or District facility.
We are still providing free COVID-19 testing at all school locations. Please contact your school to schedule an appointment.
The goal of the District is to keep school open and students attending every day.
We are still encouraging our families to support this goal by doing the following to reduce the spread of the virus in our schools and our community:
Please do not send your children to school if they are sick or have been exposed to a COVID-19 positive individual or family member;
If your child is waiting on a COVID-19 test result, please do not send them to school;
Please consider getting a COVID-19 vaccination for individuals age five or older in your family. Here’s a site to schedule an appointment: https://phd3.idaho.gov/covid19/#Vaccine.
We appreciate your partnership during this challenging time.
Sincerely,
Dr. N. Shalene French
Superintendent
