About this website

Ask The Mask is an advice column written by middle school students at Almaden Country Day School in San Jose, California. Are you a student with a dilemma? Fill out this anonymous form, and check back soon to see if The Mask has chosen your letter to publish and respond to!

The theme of the original Ask The Mask in 2020 was the Covid-19 pandemic, specifically the new dilemmas that kids found themselves experiencing as a result of remote learning, social distancing, quarantining with their families, cancelled activities, and other disappointing circumstances. More recently, The Mask is collecting letters on a variety of topics, not just the pandemic.
