Jefferson County Schools is requiring all students PK-12 to wear a mask when indoors (except when eating lunch). This includes the bus. When outdoors, students will not have to wear a mask. This mandate is in effect until Sept. 27th when it will be re-evaluated at the School Board Meeting.
Please remember to send your child to school with a filled water bottle each day. This water bottle will travel home each evening for a cleaning and refill for the next school day. Thank you very much.
