Will students be required to wear face coverings throughout the entire school day?
Posted by:
- In Asheville City Schools, the safety of our students and staff is always our TOP priority. We believe the use of masks/face coverings are essential in protecting our Cougar Family and preventing the spread of COVID-19. Therefore, per the N.C. Department of Health & Human Services guidelines, face coverings are required for everyone in our schools and on our buses – including students, staff, and any visitors to campus. If students, staff, or visitors do not have a mask, one will be provided for them.
- If parents or families have a medical reason why your child cannot wear a mask, please contact your child's school.
- Please know that mask breaks will be built into our daily schedule. Breaks will be scheduled according to building protocols and will occur when students can maintain a distance of six feet from others for the duration of the break. Mask breaks should take place outside whenever possible, and if held indoors, windows should be opened for the duration of the break.
