Governor Murphy announced that the universal school mask mandate will be lifted effective March 7.
According to the announcement, NYSA has decided to follow their own decision regarding mask wearing effective Mar 14.
This is not to completely stop wearing masks, but rather to ease restrictions on wearing masks at their own decision.
When at school, all students, parents, teachers, and visitors are still required to :
1. Check your body temperature with the thermometer provided at the entrance of the academy.
2. The hand sanitizer provided at the academy must be used before and after class upon arrival.
3. The academy will provide masks upon request to those who still need them.
4. Educate your kid/s to cover their mouth and nose with a tissue or put them on their elbows when coughing or sneezing.
If anyone has symptoms, has tested positive, or have been exposed to those with Covid-19,
school visits will be restricted, and scheduled lessons will be turned to virtual lessons.
Please do not attend classes and lessons if the student or any member of the student’s family is sick, especially if experiencing a fever, cough, shortness of breath, or other flu-like symptoms.
