USN moves to optional masking

Effective Friday, February 18, University School of Nashville students, faculty, and staff have the option of wearing masks indoors. This decision is informed by the school's Medical Advisory Board and Health Team as the school has reached a 92% vaccination rate among K-12 students and 97% for faculty and staff. Masks remain required for campus visitors. The Health Team also shares USN's masking policy and addresses some specific exceptions to the mask-optional approach when additional care may be required in this document.
Divisions shared the following letters with students and families on Wednesday, February 16:
