Dear Morningside Parents,
As you are hopefully aware, a mask mandate has been issued for Salt Lake County. On Friday Granite School District sent a message to all Granite School District families and employees stating:
“The Salt Lake County Health Department, under state statute, has the authority to issue mask mandates. A mandate has been issued for the period of January 8 through February 7, which requires all students, staff and visitors to wear a mask at school and district property.
Masks are available on site upon request.
Under state law, mandates do not come from the school district; they are issued at either the county or state level. This is a dynamic situation, and district will comply with any and all state directives made at any point during the school year, and we will continue to adhere to guidance from the health department.”
Starting tomorrow, Monday, January 10th, masks will be required inside the school building and outside only when students are lining up. Students can remove their mask to play outside during recess. We will have masks for adults and students available at the office.
Thank you for your help and your support of our Morningside community.
Thank you,
Anne Reese
