[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fccps is mask optional starting tomorrow. As of Friday , no more than 5 percent of parents have opted out of masks (a form is required).  [/quote]

A lot of people were ready to turn in forms before the “new normal” infographic was circulated. There are plenty of people who know their kids will stay masked but want to give them the option to take a mask break and not get in trouble. Once those parents saw the infographic, they were worried their kids would be segregated and shunned (even if they were masked 95% of the time). I think the number will go up once parents have more reassurance that their kids won’t be shamed for having the option to unmask in PE or briefly at other times. Very few kids or parents want to fully unmask, but there’s no nuance in FCC so you only hear from the opposite ends of the spectrum and the large number of parents in the middle stay silent for fear of being ostracized. I give huge credit to the teachers and building leaders who sent out very reassuring emails to parents late on Friday and over the weekend, making clear that every child who enters their schools will be treated with love and respect no matter what they decide to do about masks. Many of them didn’t even know about the infographic until parents told them….[/quote]

can you post the infographic?[/quote]
