The Parkers Chapel School Board voted tonight that effective immediately, masks will be encouraged but not required. We will continue to follow all other recommended guidelines. Social distancing of 3 feet in classrooms when possible will stay in effect. In the event that there is a positive case, we will follow quarantine recommendations (the positive person and those in close proximity will be quarantined unless both had masks on). The cleaning regimen of the campus will stay a top priority. It is extremely important that if a student has any symptoms, the student must stay at home & the school nurse must be contacted.
