Heath and Safety in Our Schools
Schools are distributing free, take-home COVID-19 rapid test kits to any students or staff who exhibit COVID-like symptoms or have been in a classroom where a positive case has been identified. Anyone who tests positive on a take-home test should immediately report it to the school and begin isolating. No proof of a negative result is required in order for these students to enter the school building. If you need Covid-19 rapid test kits please contact the school.

All students will attend school 5 days a week in person.
