Mask-Wearing Guidelines for MCPS

Please go over mask-wearing procedures with your child and make sure that your mask or face covering is MCPS approved. If you choose to provide your child’s own face covering, please make sure it follows these guidelines (gaiter-style face coverings that fit securely are allowed in the building, but not at recess for safety).  Here is a video for staff and parents regarding MCPS mask wearing.
