Students are permitted to wear both a mask and a face shield if desired without completing this form. Face shields DO NOT mitigate the risk of spreading the virus as well as face masks worn properly do. But to request wearing a face shield INSTEAD of a mask, the family is agreeing to the following: The family will provide their own face shield that completely covers the child's nose, mouth and comes down below the chin. The family agrees to keeping the face shield cleaned daily with disinfectant wipes or spray. The student agrees to wear the face shield at all times the masks are expected to be worn. *
