Schools will continue to be mask-friendly and actively promote respectful, welcoming and inclusive environments for individuals who choose to wear or not wear a mask. Wearing masks is strongly recommended in all indoor settings where physical
distancing may be a challenge including schools, buses and daycare. Masks will continue to be available for those who wish to continue wearing them.
We know that many students and staff may choose to continue to wear masks at times, or consistently. We ask all students and families to be respectful of the decisions of others to continue wearing or not wearing a mask.
Halton Region Public Health has shared information on the use of non-medical masks/face coverings in schools. We encourage all families to view this
fact sheet as it contains helpful tips to support students in wearing masks/face coverings in schools.
