Hello Ferndale Schools Family, As many of you are aware, Governor Newsom and the California Department of Public Health announced that they will be lifting the indoor masking mandate for schools effective at the end of the day on March 11th. On March 11 at 11:59 pm the statewide school indoor mask mandate will expire for students, regardless of vaccination status. Ferndale High and Ferndale Elementary will continue to follow all applicable federal, state and local mandates related to the pandemic. This means beginning Monday, March 14th, Ferndale High School and Ferndale Elementary School will no longer require students or staff to wear masks. Please take the time to discuss this change with your student(s). As always, we ask students and staff to be respectful and understanding of the preferences of others - whether it be to wear a mask or to not wear a mask. Our schools will continue to have masks available to any students, staff or visitors that want to continue to use them. Thank you, Beth Anderson, Superintendent Hola familia de las escuelas de Ferndale, Como muchos de ustedes saben, el gobernador Newsom y el Departamento de Salud Pública de California anunciaron que levantarán el mandato de uso de cubre bocas en interiores para las escuelas a partir del 11 de marzo. El 11 de marzo a las 11:59 p. m., el mandato de uso de cubre bocas para interiores en las escuelas de todo el estado vencerá para los estudiantes, independientemente del estado de vacunación. Ferndale High y Ferndale Elementary continuarán siguiendo todos los mandatos federales, estatales y locales aplicables relacionados con la pandemia. Esto significa que a partir del lunes 14 de marzo, Ferndale High School y Ferndale Elementary School ya no requerirán que los estudiantes o el personal usen cubre bocas. Tómese el tiempo para discutir este cambio con sus estudiante(s). Como siempre, les pedimos a los estudiantes y al personal que sean respetuosos y comprensivos con las preferencias de los demás, ya sea usar una máscara o no usarla. Nuestras escuelas seguirán teniendo cubre bocas disponibles para cualquier estudiante, personal o visitante que quiera seguir usándolas. Gracias, Beth Anderson, Superintendente
