District COVID Updates
As we prepare to return, we understand there are strong feelings about masking or not masking. At Princeton Public Schools we support the CDC recommendations and strongly encourage anyone who is not fully vaccinated to wear a face covering. Per federal mandate, masks are required on all public transportation, including school buses.
In-person education and learning is critical to a child’s well-being and academic success. Testing in K-12 schools remains a powerful tool for preventing the spread of COVID-19.
As we have shared throughout our back to school communications, all families and staff are expected to complete a daily self-check for COVID-19. If symptoms appear, stay home and report the illness to the school nurse.
Princeton Public Schools will use the following building-level tiers to determine when face coverings will be added to our mitigation strategies due to COVID-19 case rates. See full mitigation plan here.
