Due to the high number of Covid-19 cases in the Moon Area School District, District officials have updated their Covid-19 policy.

“On Jan. 10, the Moon Area School District Board of School Directors updated the district’s Health and Safety Plan… masks are recommended, but no longer required in our schools as of Monday, January 17, 2022.”

The school district hopes that with new variants they can contain and keep everyone safe.

“Any time a student is utilizing school transportation, they must wear a mask per the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) federal mandate. Please ensure your child has a mask for the bus.”

The district also plans on using all resources so they can fight the pandemic.

“Our school nurse’s office is treated as a medical office. Everyone who is in the nurse’s office must wear a mask while they are there for any reason. “

The district said they would like everyone to do their part to help stop the spread of Covid-19.
