Mask Update

This is a reminder that face coverings must fit properly, creating a "seal" around the nose and mouth. It must be thick enough to prevent respiratory droplets from escaping. If the face-covering (mask or gaiter) allows light to pass through or does not appear adequate in regard to safety, students will be provided with a surgical-grade mask to wear. At this time, RSU No. 67 is not banning one particular style of face covering, but all face coverings will be assessed for proper fit and fabric thickness.
