Nurse's Notes: Mask Compliance and Safety!
/Good Day Parents! We at VIMSIA are very proud of the efforts by all to keep our campus safe and COVID-free. However, it is of utmost importance that we do NOT let down our guard! We have seen some students on campus recently with ill-fitting and/or vented masks, even Buffs. We are following CDC guidelines for our mask policy that can be found at this link. We ask for your cooperation to help us maintain a safe environment for our students and staff by following these guidelines:
Be sure the mask fits! If the mask cannot stay above the nose or cover the chin, or the ear loops get loose, please replace it with a better fitting mask!
Carry a Spare! Kids get sweaty running around - please send a spare mask just in case it is needed.
NO Vented Masks and NO Buffs - this is our policy per CDC guidelines
Students arriving on campus without a compliant mask will be given a disposable, approved mask to wear - however, we expect and appreciate your cooperation to provide adequate facial coverings for your child(ren). For those of you with little ones, disposable child size masks can be purchased at Medicine Shoppe in Havensight. Thank you for doing your part for a safe and healthy VIMSIA campus.
And don't forget - get your flu shots too! 'Tis the Season!
Yours in Health,
Nurse Sally
