COVID Update
I wanted to send a quick update to our return to learn plan and the use of masks. Given the increase in cases surrounding us and the nature of students on the playground, we are now requiring that students wear their mask if they are going to be playing games with others, such things like tag, football, etc. However, if your student is greater than 6 feet from their friends/classmates, they may have a mask break.
Please know this is not ideal, but it is an added safety measure given that cases in Linn County are on the increase. As soon as we feel it is safe to remove this requirement, we will do so and keep you updated.
Thanks for your understanding and as always, let me know of any questions.
