A mask mandate policy for the entire Hinton School District will be in effect starting Monday, October 5th, specifically when physical distancing of 6 feet cannot be achieved with the exception recess, lunch, and times they are participating in physical activity. Students who do not feel comfortable wearing a mask at school may choose distance learning. A doctor's note stating that a face mask puts the child at risk medically is required to make exceptions to this policy. However, that student would have to quarantine if contact traced. If a household member tests positive, the other family members would have to still be quarantined as well. Anyone who tests positive for Covid-19 would still have to isolate for 10 days.
This mask mandate policy applies all events on school grounds when physical distancing of 6 feet cannot be achieved.
We are doing a reorder of Hinton face masks. Please return order and payment by October 9.
