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.

Schedule

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

Remote Learning Instructions when needed

We ask all families to ensure that their child has access to Google Classroom and that they understand how to access the site independently.
