The first day of school for the Salida School District is August 16th. 

The district said all students are strongly encouraged to wear a mask, students can opt into a free, regular testing program, everyone riding a bus will be required to wear a mask on the bus, and all adult visitors to the school must wear a mask. 

The school says that most importantly, if your child is sick, please keep them home. 

Salida Superintendent David Blackburn said that Covid-19 continues to be a reality for our community, yet we go into the new school year knowing far more than we did 12 months ago, and the availability of a vaccine has drastically changed the battle against the disease. 

Salida Schools strongly recommends a vaccine for all of those ages 12 and over.
