UPDATE RE: MASK GUIDELINES |
This is a reminder of the 2/17/22 communication in regard to the update regarding mask guidelines at Mercy HS. The Oakland County Health Division recently announced it will lift its requirement to wear masks in schools effective February 28. The Archdiocese of Detroit’s Return to School Task Force convened to review this change and concluded to relax mandatory mask wearing throughout AOD schools beginning February 28. We require masks for all staff and students until February 28 and will continue to support mask wearing for those who choose to practice this mitigation strategy past February 28.
