Portland Public Schools Remind To Wear Masks During In-Person Hybrid Learning

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)"
