We will continue to monitor our positive cases and quarantine numbers for the purpose of evaluating our masking policy.

My number one priority as your superintendent is the safety of students and staff. Our goal as a district is to keep our students and staff in school, in-person, five days a week. Facial masks kept us in school last year. Wearing masks has been proven to be extremely effective in slowing the spread of the virus (ODE Health and Prevention Guidance document, p.2). Our goal is to limit the spread of COVID-19 in our classrooms and district buildings. Beginning on Monday, August 30, 2021, we are implementing a face mask protocol for all staff members.
