Strong encouragement to keep wearing your mask and to wear it properly. A reminder video will be coming out very soon for all students. However, I do want to mention that sometimes I hear people say that teenagers are unruly and difficult to work with. I quickly remind them that I work with 650 students and they do a great job in following the mask rule. We just need to keep persevering.
