How to Wear a Mask

This step-by-step guide was published by The New York Times.  You may find it useful in teaching How to Help Your Child Wear a Mask.

  1. Wash the mask before the first wearing using unscented soap.  Wash it at least once a week or more often if soiled.
  2. Experiment with the straps, and adjust as needed.
  3. Can’t get the straps just-right?  Sew buttons into a hairband or baseball cap for the straps.
  4. Provide distractions such as gum if your child tends to chew on the mask.
  5. Select a mask with a favorite character or animal.  Let your child name the mask!

Stay safe and healthy!

How to Proactively Prepare for Distance Learning

As a part of their Back to School 2020 series, this New York Times article encourages parents to take steps to make distance learning a better experience for both students and the parents who teach them by figuring out how your child learns and asking teachers for more feedback regarding how your child is progressing or if he or she needs more help.  Happy learning!
