The Safe Return to in-Person Instruction and Continuity of Services Plan has been amended. Per CDC requirements, all students and staff who ride the bus will be mandated to wear a mask on the bus. Masks will be available on the bus each morning and afternoon. We want to make sure you have time to make alternative arrangements for getting your child to and from school if you need to.
As of today, masks are optional, but recommended per CDC guidelines, in the classrooms, lunchrooms and spaces where social distancing is not available.
Please look for additional information as we get closer to the start of the school year. Please email Dr. Basham if you have additional questions - lbasham@mariesr2.org.
How about a Flashback Friday to 2002. Recognize anyone? #proudofouralumni
