Dear Parents/Guardians,
Prince Edward Island will be ending the mandate to wear masks in indoor public places on May 6, 2022. However, masks will be highly recommended in indoor settings and will still be required in some high risk areas such as schools. Students who wish to continue to wear masks at all times are strongly encouraged to do so.
Effective Friday, May 6, students, staff and visitors must wear a mask indoors when they are transitioning, in common areas or are not seated at their desk.
Kindergarten students can remove masks while in their classroom during class activities, even if not seated at desks, due to the interactive nature of the learning activities.
Masking exemptions still apply in accordance with the PSB Mask Use procedure.
Mask use in schools will continue to be reassessed by CPHO at two week intervals and we will continue to communicate any further changes.
Your continued support is appreciated.
Take care,
Norbert Carpenter
Director
Public Schools Branch
