Consent Forms to Opt Out of Face Mask Requirement Imposed on Students by a School or School District
The School District of Newberry County will begin collecting Consent Forms to Opt Out of Face Mask Requirement Imposed on Students by a School or School District on Friday, May 14. The form must be completed in its entirety and should be returned to the school between Friday, May 14 and Friday, May 21. On Friday, May 14 MCHS students with completed Opt Out of Face Mask Requirement Forms will turn those into their 1st block teacher. Any student without a 1st block class will turn in their completed forms to Mr. Wilbanks in the Attendance Office. Once approved by the school, this form allows students to go mask-free in the school building. Face coverings will continue to be required on all school buses. Students who exhibit any symptoms and visit the health room will be issued a mask. Parents are reminded to continue to check your students for any symptoms prior to sending them to school and inform the school nurse if your child is symptomatic.
Plexiglass and social distancing measures will remain in place. As students come for state testing that begins on May 17, please be aware that there may be students with and without masks in the classrooms where testing occurs.
