Current COVID-19 Information
As a school division, we are no longer ordering COVID-19 test kits to be stored in the school buildings. In addition, as school nurses, we are not distributing Covid-19 test kits. For those who have COVID-19 test kits from the previous school year, you may provide them to students/staff while the supplies last. If you have expired Covid test kits, you should discard them.
