Possible changes to mask rules coming soon
Last week, Governor Jay Inslee shared there will likely be updates to indoor masking requirements. We don’t yet know how this may change requirements for schools. We will continue to follow the requirements from the Department of Health. As health requirements for schools are adjusted by local and state health authorities, we will adjust with them. We will update staff, families and students when we know more.
