Dear Bailey’s ES Families,
As we close out the 2020-21 school year and quickly approach the start of summer learning, we are providing you with updated guidance regarding the use of face masks while on school property beginning June 18 in accordance with Executive Order 79.
Indoors On-School Property
- EO79 requires that all individuals wear a mask while indoors on school property. Masks or face coverings must be worn by all students, faculty, staff, and visitors regardless of vaccination status.
- This includes all activities on school property beyond education, including School Board meetings and concerts, graduations, voting, attendees at performances, etc.
- Social distancing is not required.
-
As of June 11, the Commonwealth updated guidance to say that when school is not in session (or anytime students are not attending programs in the school building), individuals should follow masking recommendations in accordance with CDC Guidance, which allows for fully vaccinated individuals to participate in most activities without masking or distancing. Individuals who are not yet fully vaccinated should continue to mask and distance in order to protect themselves and the people around them.
Outdoors On-School Property
- EO79 permits individuals outdoors on school property to remove masks in accordance with CDC guidance.
-
Fully vaccinated students, teachers, staff, and visitors may remove their masks or face coverings. Six feet social distancing is not required.
- Individuals who are not fully vaccinated may remove masks or face coverings outside if they can maintain at least six feet distance. If they cannot maintain social distancing, it is recommended that they wear a mask.
Offices and Non-School Property
In office buildings such as Gatehouse, neither masks nor social distancing will be required for vaccinated employees.
Below is a quick reference guide regarding mask usage for Schools and Non-School based Offices, effective June 18, 2021.
