Face shields

The Washington County School District bought face shields for all the admin and secretaries in the schools. They bought half face shields for the secretaries. The teachers were all given full face shields but they kept digging up and it was a pain so a bunch ordered their own half face shields.

They look like the old head gear from braces and they feel dumb but at least we can breathe. We used those last week for the first week of school and it was nice. We had a few students that had panic attacks because of the masks. When the counselors talked to them and explained that they can use face shields it calmed them down and parents were excited for the option.

Friday, the governor of Utah decided that schools can’t allow face shields without a mask underneath. I’m wondering how the school district is going to respond because we have already set a precedence with the shields. So next week is going to be very interesting.
