West Monona Community School District

Clarification on Governor Reynold's latest proclamation I hope you are enjoying your weekend! I wanted to send out clarification following the Governor's latest proclamation removing her mask mandate for businesses and gatherings.  This does not change mask requirements at school.  We will continue to require masks at school and at school events at this time.  By continuing to require students and staff to wear masks during school, and visitors to your campus to wear masks when in our buildings, we are able to drastically reduce the number of students and staff who are required to quarantine due to any exposure to any individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19. Thank you! Marty Fonley
