Dear families,
We hope your week is off to a great start. We would like to share the following updates with you.
Additional rapid tests available
We have received another supply of rapid tests from Governor Hochul. We have received about half as many tests as last time, so each student is eligible to receive an additional free rapid test kit (each test kit contains two tests), while supplies last. Kits will be available for pick up tomorrow and Friday, Jan. 13 and 14. If you would like a test kit for your child(ren) to screen for COVID-19, you can pick up a kit at the following locations:
