WHY WEAR A MASK?

WHEN WILL STUDENTS WEAR MASKS?*

HOW TO WEAR A MASK?

When a cloth face covering is worn, the transmission rate of an airborne virus is greatly reduced. The CDC recommends all children over the age of two wear a face mask in public.

Students are required to wear a clean mask each day. Masks are mandatory whenever students are indoors and when they are arriving at or leaving school. Students will be provided with a pouch for storing their masks when they are outside for recess or physical education, and properly distanced.

• Students are required to wear a mask/cloth face covering that meets the CDC guidelines and is tasteful and appropriate for a Fairmont environment.

• No bandanas or cloth face coverings containing valves, mesh material or holes of any kind may be used.

• The CDC cautions against the use of neck gaiters as their effectiveness is not known at this time.

• Students may only remove face-covering while actively eating or drinking or participating in PE/recess outside.
