DON’T FORGET TO MASK UP
Due to the increase in COVID cases we are encouraging families to have their children wear disposable surgical face mask instead of the cloth mask. If your child would like to wear a cloth face mask they will now be required to wear a disposable surgical face mask, with the cloth mask on top of the disposable mask during LINK Club. LINK Club staff will provide disposable masks to students as needed.
