COVID-19 Policies & Guidelines:
All students must follow current COVID-19 guidelines. A mask must be worn at all times and maintain 6 feet of social distancing from others.
As we have all learned during the pandemic, things can change with very little notice and we cannot control how and when the State changes guidelines and if that happens we will need to adjust accordingly.
