The board trustees voted to make it mandatory for students in kindergarten to grade 3 to wear masks for in class learning. This follows a similar move from the Waterloo Region District School Board and Upper Grand District School Board, who announced that decision last week.
Students from grades 4 and up are already mandated to wear masks by the Province. Families will responsible for making sure the students have masks and the school board will have a few extra on hand.
