Home Rapid Test Instructions

Starting the first day of school, schools will offer home test kits to those with a potential in-school exposure and those with symptoms.

In addition, each staff and student will receive 4 tests per month to take home. These tests can be used by school families for testing due to symptoms, exposures, high risk activity (such as travel and large gatherings).
