Updated Mask Policy at CSMA Dear Students and Families, Due to falling case rates and updated public health guidance from the County and State, CSMA will be loosening some COVID restrictions. Effective Monday April 4, indoor masks will be strongly recommended, but not required.

Please be aware that CSMA onsite faculty may choose to continue requiring masks in their studios or classrooms through the end of the spring semester. CSMA supports faculty in making this decision for their individual studios/classes.

Protocols could become more restrictive should cases rise. Please check our website for the latest information. Thank you for your cooperation!
