Dear Staff,
The state mask mandate will end this Saturday, March 12, 2022. Therefore, on Monday, March 14, 2022 masks will be optional for students and staff unless otherwise determined by the department of health.
The DoH has released their revised guidance for K-12 settings, which can be viewed here:
https://doh.wa.gov/sites/default/files/2022-03/821-165-K12SchoolsChildCare.pdf
On Monday, March 14, 2022 mask use in our district will become a personal choice unless otherwise determined by the department of health.
We are encouraged to be mindful of individuals who will want to continue to wear a mask for a variety of reasons and we need to be mindful of supporting their choice. One should not make assumptions regarding someone's beliefs or health status, nor should they comment on them.
Thank you for your continued flexibility.
Paul
