East Cobb Pediatrics believes that wearing a mask is essential to preventing the spread of COVID-19. As such, we will not be providing mask exemption letters for students preparing for face-to-face learning. We are encouraged with Cobb County COVID-19 data trends and are working daily to educate our families on how we ALL play a role in keeping our community safe. We want our kids to not only be able to go to school safely, but to stay in school. Let’s all work together to stop the spread: wash your hands, watch your distance and wear a mask! Stay healthy ECP families!
