Students will receive COVID-19 test kits on Monday, January 23, 2023 as they enter the building. Any staff/student who needs a test kit during the month may obtain them in room 103.

DOHMH continues their encouragement to get the flu vaccine, mask-wearing while indoors, regular hand washing, etc. Please check this fight the flu flyer, which includes more ways for families to be healthy in the coming months. Note that the flu vaccine can be safely received at the same time as all other vaccines, including the one for COVID-19. As a reminder and in accordance with the existing School Health Policy, masks are also required for staff and students when:  

• Entering the school medical room, nurse’s office, or school-based health center.  
• Returning to school on the sixth day after testing positive for COVID-19, through day 10 after symptom onset or date of a positive test, whichever is earlier, including when traveling on a school bus. (Masks may be removed during this period if the person has received two negative rapid tests 48 hours apart.)  
• Exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19 at school.
