MIAMI SHORES, FLA. (WSVN) - Archdiocese of Miami students are heading back to school on Wednesday.
Students returning to class are required to wear masks while on campus.
Vaccinated high schoolers are exempt from wearing masks.
The Archdiocese said the requirement of face coverings will stay in place until at least the end of the month.
7News cameras captured parents dropping off their children at Saint Lawrence Elementary School in Northeast Miami-Dade.
“So excited to have the kids back,” said Saint Lawrence Elementary School Principal Dian Hyatt. “We’re really looking forward to it. My team has been working like crazy all week to get everything ready the way it needed to be.”
Archdiocese of Miami Superintendent Jim Rigg has a positive outlook for the new school year.
“It’s going to be a good year, a complex year because of the ongoing pandemic but a good year for those of us in Catholic education,” he said.
