Five mistakes to avoid with your mask:


Attention MSD Parents:
The following is the newest change to the mask policy. This amended policy was approved by the board last Thursday night and is in line with the current mask directive by the ADH.
"Masks with valves are not allowed. Bandanas and single-layer neck gaiters (a form of mask made 2 out of stretchy, moisture-wicking fabric that is worn around the neck and pulled up over the nose and mouth) may not provide sufficient protection and are strongly discouraged. Bandanas and gaiters may be doubled to provide two layers of protection."
As always, thank you for your continued support of the Marion School District.
