Hill said all students in grade PK-12 are required to wear a face covering at all times while in district-owned buildings and on district-owned transportation such as buses.
“Please work with your child now to wear their masks, encourage hand washing, and remind them what social distancing means. Teachers will go over all of these procedures in the first few days of school and beyond, but it is helpful when students arrive with a comfort level and understanding of the basic terms,” Hill said.
