Assalamu’alaikum Dear Parents/Guardians,
You may have heard that the state announced plans to lift the mask mandate for indoor public places for vaccinated individuals on Feb. 15 and may be wondering what that means for our district/school.
The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) guidance that takes effect Feb. 16 does not apply to K-12 schools. The indoormask mandate, which has been a cornerstone of the state’s COVID-19 strategy since the start of the school year, remains in effect for all K-12 students and staff.
The latest COVID-19 numbers show a decline in cases and hospitalizations across the state, which is good news, alhumdulillah. While we are hopeful things will continue to get better, it’s important that we continue our current mitigation strategies to ensure our students and staff members remain as safe as possible.
In the meantime, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
Jazakum Allahu khairan,
BHA Admin
