Sartell Schools No Longer Requiring Students, Staff to Mask

School officials say the decision to modify the district's safe learning plan is based on the declining COVID-19 rates. The district may reinstate a mask mandate if another surge of the virus should occur.
The district's COVID-19 Isolation and Quarantine Protocols will remain the same, with symptoms or a positive test resulting in a five-day isolation period followed by five-days of strict mask wearing.
Families choosing not have their child mask following the five-day isolation period must keep them home for the full 10 day quarantine.
