Covid-19 Home Test Kits

Covid-19 home test kits were sent home with students this past Wednesday. We encourage famiilies to use the at-home tests prior to returning from spring break. Reminder that all students and staff are to remain home if they are experiencing symptom(s) associated with any communicable disease, including COVID-19. Details on daily health checks are available online. If your child is exhibiting any COVID-19 symptoms, please use your test kit as an additional mitigation effort to keep our schools and offices healthy, and/or access one of many available public testing sites in your area. 

What Do I Need to Show as Proof of a Negative Covid Test Result

Effective April 5, 2022, if a student or staff member exhibits COVID-like symptoms, the parent/guardian or staff may submit any of the following to show proof of a negative test and return to the building:

• Negative PCR test result - A copy of the test result should be emailed to the school nurse or health assistant

• Negative rapid test result - A copy of the test result should be emailed to the school nurse or health assistant

• Negative at-home test result - A photo of the negative test, along with the student or staff member's full name, date of birth, and the date and time the test was taken should be emailed to the school nurse or health assistant, who will follow up with parents/guardians as necessary.

A negative rapid test result will not require a confirmatory PCR test if the student or staff member has not been identified as a close contact or part of a cohort outbreak
