Lincoln-Way families,
The CDC has announced changes to their guidance related to masking on school buses: Effective February 25, 2022, CDC is exercising its enforcement discretion to not require that people wear masks on buses or vans operated by public or private school systems, including early care and education/childcare programs. CDC is making this change to align with updated guidance that no longer recommends universal indoor mask wearing in K-12 schools and early education settings in areas with a low or medium COVID-19 Community Level.
The District will follow the CDC’s guidance, as our community is now a low transmission area. Moving forward, masks will be optional for staff and students on school buses.
As always, thank you for your support, and we hope you have a great weekend.

Congratulations, Jackson!
