Important Changes to COVID-19 Testing at School
Last week Dr. Boyd sent a letter explaining that in accordance with the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) and the Department of Public Health (DPH) our district is updating our COVID-19 Testing Program. Beginning February 28, we are opting into an at-home testing program. This means:
In addition to this new at-home antigen test option, we will continue with symptomatic testing during the week. As part of this shift in the program, we are discontinuing pool testing, Test and Stay, and contact tracing for in-school close contacts. This means that if your child is a potential contact in school, they may continue to come to school and do not have to quarantine. This new at-home testing opportunity is voluntary and only those who opt-in will receive tests. We strongly encourage you to sign up by February 8 in order to receive at-home test kits in time for February break.
