COVID-19 Resources

As we begin the start of the 2022-2023 school year, please remember the following guidelines regarding COVID-19 policies and procedures for the school district

 

  • The BOE has agreed to allow at home tests this year to verify COVID results
  • If a COVID-19 test is indicated due to presenting symptoms, the District will allow an over the counter/at home COVID-19 test, with a photographic upload of the result or print out of the result with the student’s name clearly present;  If an at-home antigen test is used - whether positive or negative results -  an attestation by the student’s parent/guardian that the test was performed, must be provided.  The form required from the student’s parent/guardian that will be used to collect this information can be found at this link: https://forms.gle/Rx8Zm4ddrgDRZSW27
