Maplewood Richmond Heights School District: MRH Mask Policy Remains In Effect

Press release from Maplewood Richmond Heights School District:

May 17, 2021

Many MRH families may have questions about the new CDC guidance related to mask use for vaccinated individuals. District administration has been in close communication with the health department, which is strongly recommending that schools continue to mask and that individuals mask in all public spaces where vaccinated and unvaccinated members of the public are likely to be together, especially for long periods of time. 

"DPH adamantly recommends masking in schools for the health and safety of all. We recommend the mask mandates in schools continue in order to protect the health of students and also because they greatly reduce the impact of quarantine when there is a close contact in the school setting." 

MRH will continue to monitor the situation closely, but at this time anticipate no changes to current practice throughout the remainder of the school year. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

For more information, contact MRH School District at (314) 644-4400.
