BAND MASKS AND BELL COVERS
Special masks and bell covers have been distributed to students that are learning in-person. These should be washed once a week. Wash on cold and air dry by laying flat. Students are responsible for care of these. We do not have extras if students lose or damage them.
If a student loses their cover or facemask, individual orders may be made her
