Grand Rapids Public Schools will lift mask mandates beginning Monday, February 28,2022.

GRAND RAPIDS - GRPS says starting February 28th, students, staff, and visitors are no longer mandated to wear masks in schools and district buildings.

In accordance with CDC, MDHHS, and KCHD guidance, masks are strongly recommended, but not required.

Masks are still mandatory on all public transportation and school buses based on the CDC order from January 29, 2021.

To control the spread of communicable diseases, the Michigan Public Health Code requires individuals who test positive for COVID-19 to isolate for 5 days. Individuals may return on day 6, and wearing a mask is strongly recommended for days 6-10.

Staff and families must continue reporting when there is a positive COVID-19 test.

Kent County Health Department is no longer requiring contact tracing.

Household close contacts are no longer required to quarantine, regardless of vaccination status. The KCHD is recommending a 10-day quarantine for unvaccinated household contacts.
