• Scanning in using the COVID QR code is no longer needed (but visitors still need to sign in at the office in the usual manner)

• Masks are not required to be worn outdoors at dropoff/pickup times (𝘩𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘰 𝘴𝘰 𝘪𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘩)

It is important to note that we are still in the Red setting (𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘦𝘸 𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 4𝘵𝘩 𝘈𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘭)
