Back to School Masking Update
Dear Franklin Lakes Community,
At his August 6, 2021 press conference, Governor Murphy announced that “all students, educators, staff, and visitors will be required to wear masks inside of school buildings--regardless of vaccination status--for the start of the 2021-2022 school year.” He also indicated that this masking requirement would be lifted as soon as conditions allow, and that the exceptions in place made last school year will remain in place. Finally, he reiterated that schools must open for full-time, in-person learning for the 2021-2022 school year. Please know that this is a mandate by the Governor’s office, not a local decision. For more information, see correspondence dated August 23, 2021, located on Superintendent's webpage, Health Updates/Covid-Related Policy Links.
