Will face coverings be required when students/staff are outside?
Posted by:
- In alignment with our 2020-2021 end of the year Return to Learn Updates, students and staff (Pre-K thru 12th Grade) WILL NOT be required to wear face coverings when they are outside for recess, PE or when learning in an outdoor classroom.
- However, student-athletes WILL be required to wear face coverings while they are not actively engaged in rigorous physical activity, regardless of whether they are practicing indoors or outdoors. The only exception to this would be if student-athletes are outside and, at least, six feet apart.
