Update on COVID as of 8-11-21
As you have seen from Cherry Creek School District as of
August 4th:
All students and staff are strongly encouraged to wear a face mask in school. Mask wearing played a key role last
year in keeping COVID transmission inside schools extremely low.
The decision on whether to have your child wear a mask in school will be up to each family. We will work with
families to accommodate their students’ needs and comfort levels so that every student has an enjoyable and safe
learning environment.
All students and staff are required to wear masks on school buses regardless of vaccination status. The federal
CDC order requires face masks on public transportation and at transportation hubs.
