There is no guidance suggesting indoor masking. They recommend it, but there is no mandate to mask indoors. MCPS will be mask optional FWIW.

I’m a teacher. I’ve noticed most students really don’t care about masks. They wear them or they don’t. They haven’t made them into huge symbols and most don’t look remotely psychologically affected by them. Parents, on the other hand, make them into something larger than they are. I’ve never had to talk to students about mask wearing. Only parents.

Yes, a KN95.
The school will also continue testing.

Just curious what like-minded parents are thinking for next year. We have been in kn95s indoors for the past two years.
Like-minded in what way?
We will follow our school’s rules but given the choice, no masks.
I assume they mean people who chose to mask at the end of last year, when it was optional at almost all the independent schools in the area.
I don't see anything that makes me think that the choice we make in the fall would be different from the one we made in the spring.

yes, though if the school does weekly community testing and keeps sick at home we would be happy to unmask

This is how we’re handling it, as well. Cases up… mask up. Otherwise, maskless. We have immunocompromised people in our home and this is the best solution for us. Fortunately, our kids don’t care either way and just go with the flow.
