It should be mandatory to wear masks, even if youre in the gym doing gym class, I think you should wear your mask. I mean, obviously we dont want to shut down the school since for seniors its their last year and incoming freshmen who havent been here yet. I think what we can do to reduce the risk of COVID-19 in schools is to wear your mask and to be conscientious, and teachers really need to enforce this. Other students may not agree with it but teachers need to be doing it, senior Elena Mendoza said.

Masks will be required of course. Make sure people are socially distancing to the best of their abilities so we dont spread COVID-19 in our schools. Make sure they are wearing masks properly, not like under the nose, you know. And just making sure kids are really taking it seriously, you know, cause its not a joke, at all. This is real life. They need to take it more seriously than they are right now. Just being more mature and getting them in the right mind set, senior Zakee Branch said.
