Masks should:

• Fit snugly but comfortably against the side of the face

• Be secured with ties or ear loops

• Include multiple layers of fabric

• Allow for breathing without restriction

• Be able to be laundered and machine dried without damage or change to shape

• Cover both nose and mouth

• A face covering with an exhalation valve should not be used as it allows unfiltered exhaled air to escape to others

Mask Exemption

Students first grade and up who provide the school with a medical exemption from a licensed medical

parent/guardian must provide the school with a letter from the physician. It must include the following:

• Student Name

• Date of Birth

• Medical reason the student cannot wear a mask

• Signature, Printed Name, and Date of the Physician

• The statement must be on the physician’s office letterhead
