Press release from Portland Public Schools: March 31, 2021 Dear PPS Families, "The countdown for in-person hybrid learning continues. We want to remind you that all staff and students are required to wear a mask during in-person hybrid learning. This helps us maintain a safe and healthy school environment for everyone and is a requirement for in-person learning. Tips for students: Masks should cover both your nose and mouth. Masks need to have two layers of material. No mask? No problem! Let your teacher know (in advance) and we will get one for you. We will also have them available at the front entrance in case you forget. If you are having problems with your mask, let your teacher know. Keep your mask on unless your teacher tells you it's OK to take it off. Please do not share your masks with anyone. Families: If your student is not able to wear a mask due to a medical condition or disability, please coordinate directly with your student's teacher. Wearing a Mask – Resources Available We prepared some materials that can help your student and family transition into in-person hybrid learning: Reopening packet Video: How to Wear a Mask at School Social Story: I Can Wear My Mask Safely Flier: Tips for Wearing a Mask (PK-12)" This press release was produced by Portland Public Schools.
