Hip hip hoorah for our Naquag teachers and staff as we continue to adjust and move forward with our instruction and additional changes. We appreciate your continued collaboration and support. We are Naquag Strong!

WRSD Rapid COVID-19 Testing / BinaxNow Testing Updates:
The Wachusett Regional School District is offering rapid COVID-19 testing using the Abbott BinaxNow COVID-19 antigen test. Testing will be offered to students and staff who develop symptoms during the school day. The goal of in-school testing is to quickly identify and isolate COVID-19 positive individuals so our school community remains as safe as possible. This is one tool WRSD will use to mitigate the impact of COVID within the school community. Participation in this program is voluntary. Please reach out to Nurse Amy if you have any questions regarding the consent, testing, or treatment plans surrounding BinaxNow testing. Amy_McGeary@wrsd.net
