Wildcat Families,
Given the new CDC guidelines that state the following: "The CDC is exercising its enforcement discretion to not require that people wear masks on buses or vans operated by public or private school systems, in communities with low and medium transmission, The NWSD will make mask-wearing on district transportation OPTIONAL, beginning on Monday, February 28th. We will continue with this plan as long as Erie County remains in medium transmission.
Sincerely,
John Hansen, Superintendent NWSD
