PRESCOTT – Starting this Monday, January 10, the Prescott School District will require masks to be worn at all times at school and on school buses.

In a statement, the district said, “With the new CDC/ADH guidelines, wearing masks gives our school the best chance to continue normal school operations. Our kids need to be in school and this gives them the best opportunity to stay in school without us having to quarantine staff and students. Please help us by keeping kids that are sick and/or have symptoms at home. We will monitor the numbers weekly and we will lift the mask mandate when we feel it is safe to do so. So, please wear your mask starting Monday.”
