Here is the link to the weekly COVID list for the week of December 6, 2021. https://5il.co/12pru Masks will be required at Auroa and West Preston Schools and on all bus routes. Masks will be optional in the schools not listed.
For the week of Dec. 6 - 10, all students, staff, and visitors at West Preston School will be required to wear a face mask or shield.
This mandate is determined by our current number of positive cases and quarantined individuals. Based on the BOE mask mandate, if 7% or more of our students/ staff are quarantined, we are required to return to wearing masks the following week. 7% of our school community equates to 51 people. We currently have 53 people quarantined.
Our school numbers will be reevaluated each week to determine when the mandate can be lifted.
