As you may have already heard, the Commissioner of Elementary and Secondary Education has mandated that all public school students ages 5 and older (and all school staff and visitors) are required to wear a mask indoors through at least October 1, 2021.
Masks are also strongly recommended for children under age 5. Masks continue to be mandated on school busses and in the nurse’s office. That mandate could be lifted after October 1st for middle/high school students who are vaccinated, but only if at least 80% of students and staff in the building have been vaccinated.Unvaccinated students would still have to wear masks.
While some of you may no doubt be disappointed by this decision, we are required - along with every other district in the state - to cooperate. It is our expectation that all students will wear a mask to school when we open on Xxx. Any student who does not have a mask will be provided one by our school staff, which they will be expected to wear throughout the school day. Teachers and school staff will also continue to offer periodic mask breaks.
Masks inhibit kids from studying facial expressions, which unltimately hinders their development.

I guess nevermind that the jab does not work and it doesn't matter if you are jabbed or un jabbed you can still get and spread it.

THIS, but there’s an even larger issue going on.
It’s teaching our children to be complicit no matter what’s being asked of them. Grooming them at a young age, to be nothing but “yes” people.

They are now going to mandating a vax like Pfizer which only has a 39% effectiveness. We still dont know the many possible side effects of the mRNA vaxs in our youth.
Lets be honest MSM has never released any data expect the one claiming its "safe"
Makes no sense. Since it is known that those who are vaccinated can transmit the disease there is no reason for them to be excluded from masking requirements.
They’re really planning on singling out the “unvaxxed” and will force them to wear masks.

I am requesting evidence that this is actually in planning. Anywhere.
Dear Parents and Guardians, Everyone here at XX is excited and looking forward to welcoming all of our students back for in-person instruction on Monday, August XXX.

I realize that the highly fluid COVID-19 situation has affected us all for such a long time, and we will continue to face any and all challenges together, because ultimately we all have one goal: to educate and provide the best opportunities for our children in the safest way possible. I am looking forward to the first real school opening in over a year, and I hope you are as well. Sincerely,

Gets cold there. No thanks.
Probably snakes and bears too. I bet.
