Important COVID Procedures:
Pre-K & Kindergarten COVID Testing
Pre-K testing starts this week. For the next month, pre-k 3 and pre-k 4 families are required to administer either a rapid antigen test or a PCR test the day before students return and uploaded on the day before students return to https://dcpsreopenstrong.com/testing/. Testing is vital for our youngest learners because they are not eligible for the vaccination. This testing will continue for the next month.
Tests will be sent home to all pre-k and kindergarten students. While our kindergarten or other students in other grades are not required to test, we highly encourage families to administer the tests from school and to upload results. The more information we have about the spread of COVID, the better we can protect our students, staff, and community.
Mask Up
We have received generous donations of KN95 and KF94 masks for our students! We are grateful to the PTO and those families who have been able to help supply these masks. While there is no requirement that students wear these masks, there is some evidence that they are more effective with the new omicron variant. Surgical masks are still available at school for students as well.
