The New Milford Superintendent of Schools is sharing information from the State Department of Education about mask policies in schools.  In New Milford, masks continue to be required in school settings when students are indoors. However, when it comes to recess and PE outdoors, masks are only required in certain scenarios.  Alishia DiCorpo says the policy will be updated so that students and staff will no longer be required to wear masks outdoors unless they are in close contact while stationary and/or when students are in a line arriving and/or leaving recess or PE.  Good hand hygiene should be emphasized before and after outdoor activities.  DiCorpo thanked parents for their support in implementing the mitigation measures over the course of the year.
