PDF: Face Mask Expectations | Spanish

Students and Staff Required
All staff and students (grades PK-12) must wear face masks while on CISD property. This includes buses, all hallways, and in common areas. Students and staff will wear face masks when entering and/or exiting the gym, playground, or activity space and when not actively engaged in rigorous physical activity.

In The Classroom
All staff and students (grades PK-12) will be required to wear face masks in the classroom.

All Visitors Required
All visitors (including parents, contractors, and vendors) are required to wear face masks.

CDC Recommendations
The CDC does not recommend the use of vented face masks, gaiters, or bandannas in lieu of appropriate fitting face masks covering the mouth and nose.

Face Shields?
Updated guidance from the CDC states face shields are not an acceptable substitute for face masks. Full-face clear shields as an accommodation may only be used in place of a mask to protect eyes, nose, and mouth whenever a face mask is not feasible due to a medical condition or whenever the education context may benefit from the ability to see an individual’s full face. 

Limited Exceptions
Limited exceptions to these rules will only be made for eating, drinking, therapy, or a medical condition or disability that prevents a person from wearing a face mask.

Student/Staff Exemptions
Students seeking an exemption from these rules for a medical condition or disability may do so in accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Staff seeking an exemption from these rules for a medical condition or disability may do so in accordance with the Americans With Disabilities Act. Written documentation from a medical provider is required. Please contact your campus administration for exemptions.
