[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine will double mask with a cloth two layer mask and a kids size surgical mask. I’m afraid a face shield may be a distraction so I bought some goggles (sports ones, not swimming) for my DD to wear. Anyone asking their kids to wear gloves?[/quote] My 5th grader will be wearing a 2-layer cloth mask with a PM 2.5 filter in it. She has 4 and will bring 2 to school each day. [b]She also has bluescreen glasses, which she will continue to wear because they will still be doing a lot on screens. [/b]I am not getting face shields or requiring gloves. We have been teaching DD to avoid touching her face and to wash her hands frequently for the entire pandemic. By this point, she knows what she's doing. The mask and the distancing at school is enough to reduce an awful lot of transmission without adding face shields and gloves.[/quote] Unfortunately, there is little evidence that these work. "The American Academy of Ophthalmology says you don’t need them and has gone on record as not recommending any kind of special eyewear for computer users. The organization says blue light from digital devices does not lead to eye disease and doesn’t even cause eyestrain. The problems people complain about are simply caused by overuse of digital devices, it says." https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20210115/do-blue-light-glasses-work My kid has been in-person for a couple of months (we moved from DCPS a while ago). We usually do Athleta Girl Masks, no gloves or anything else. There is a TON of handwashing, though.[/quote]
