Press release from the Shrewsbury Public Schools: February 28, 2022 February 27, 2022 Dear Shrewsbury Families & Colleagues,  Please note the following updates regarding 1) masking in our schools, 2) COVID-19 testing, and 3) determining interest in a vaccine clinic. 1) Masking update: Please note that the Shrewsbury Board of Health's mask mandate for all Shrewsbury public and private schools, which applies to all individuals inside schools and on school buses, remains in effect when school resumes tomorrow.  The Shrewsbury Board of Health is scheduled to meet Friday morning, March 4, to revisit this mandate and potentially take action, after assessing COVID-19 metrics post-school vacation.  The Shrewsbury School Committee will review its mask mandate and will likely take action at its meeting this coming Wednesday evening, after reviewing COVID-19 data upon return from vacation.  Please note that the local Shrewsbury Board of Health's mandate supersedes all others. 3) Planning for a school-based vaccine clinic: We have the opportunity to provide another school-based vaccine clinic in the near future, likely on a Saturday in March.  This clinic will be available to anyone who is interested in getting a first, second, or booster dose of vaccine.  In order for us to plan, please complete this short survey to indicate your interest and time preference.  Thank you. Respectfully, Joe Sawyer Superintendent of Schools This press release was produced by the Shrewsbury Public Schools. The views expressed are the author's own.
