Mask Wearing Required in Schools and At School Events
Given the CDC update regarding fully vaccinated individuals no longer having to wear masks, Governor McKee announced that he applied the no mask mandate to Rhode Island beginning Tuesday, May 18. However, this mandate does not apply to schools or school events. I have attached the CDC guidance for your information. Image 2 below lists the places where masks must continue to be worn. We will share updates as more information becomes available. https://covid.ri.gov/covid-19-prevention/wearing-masks

This week the second grade students wrote their reflections from their visit with Farmer Dane, the beekeeper, as part of their pollinators unit.
