Dear PUSD Community,
I would like to thank you for your understanding and flexibility as we adjust to ever-changing protocols and directives from state and local health officials dealing with the Omicron variant. We are doing everything we can to continue in-person learning without interruption. We are asking for your help with a few things this week and, as always, we are grateful for your cooperation and commitment to our students.
TAKE-HOME TEST KITS
By now, every TK-12 student should have received one rapid antigen testing kit to conduct surveillance testing at home. Our staff worked non-stop to distribute more than 15,000 free COVID-19 antigen tests provided by the California Department of Public Health for TK-12 students attending in-person instruction. The goal of the take-home test program is to reduce the risk of transmission by receiving immediate results and preventing students from attending school while positive for COVID-19. Please use the kit if you think your student has been exposed or is experiencing symptoms of COVID-19.
All kits will come with clear instructions: How to use the iHealth COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test
For more details about how to plan test days so that it is an optimal time to use the test, how to share test results with local health officials, and how to clearly understand results so that parents and students know what to do next, visit pusd.us/testkits.
