Good Evening SPS School Community,

Based on our 'Back to School Plan for SPS' dated August 18th, please find our weekly report regarding mask-wearing in our buildings for this coming week February 14, 2022. Please see the information below and contact the central office if you have any questions.

Due to the nature of positive cases being reported, immediate response to masking in buildings is a goal. For example, if the mask threshold is met on a Tuesday afternoon, it is important we assign masking regulations the next day (Wednesday) within a week. Similarly, if the “take the mask off” threshold is met at the end of the day on a Wednesday for a particular building, then masks would come off the following day (Thursday) within a week.

As a reminder masks on buses continue to be a federal mandate.

Thank you and have a great weekend.
