At school, when social distancing is not possible, face masks will be mandatory for teachers and staff and recommended, but not required, for students, according to Frequently Asked Questions posted with the reopening plan. To view the FAQs: https://bit.ly/CCSDfaqs20.
Classroom will have hand disinfectants and frequent daytime wipe-downs of high-touch surfaces, and schools will use scheduling to limit the number of students in, say, a cafeteria or passing in hallways at a given time.

Parents who wish to keep their children home must complete by Friday a Digital Learning Commitment Form, available at https://bit.ly/CCSDdlcommit20.
