Josiah Haynes Elementary School
January 28, 2022
Next week begins the implementation of at-home COVID testing in the Sudbury Public Schools. This testing program, sponsored by SPS and the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, adds a layer of monitoring and mitigation against COVID-19 infection in our community. Paired with weekly PCR pool testing, we are confident we will continue to maintain our schools as safe places to learn, work and grow.
Distribution of tests will be biweekly beginning on Thursday, February 3 at morning arrival. Our distribution will be a partnership between Haynes School and the Haynes Organization of Parents. Those families utilizing bus transportation will be able to receive their testing kits from SPS by way of USPS mail.
Please note the following action items:
1. SIGN UP TO PARTICIPATE—Click here to register each student enrolled in SPS. Enroll TODAY if you haven't already.
2. SIGN UP TO HELP DISTRIBUTE TESTS—The Haynes Organization of Parents is coordinating volunteers to distribute tests at morning arrival. If you're able to help, please email haynesHOPcochairs@gmail.com. The commitment will be approximately half an hour bi-weekly on Thursday mornings.
3. PICK UP YOUR TESTS—At arrival next Thursday, volunteers will approach your vehicle. Simply state how many students you have enrolled in at-home testing to receive your tests from a volunteer. Please note, Haynes will not record tardy arrivals through the car line on test pick-up days to accommodate for safe distribution and arrival to school.
You can learn more about our at-home testing program in Superintendent Crozier's January 24 announcement. Please contact Marcy Sawin with any questions on your Pool Testing participation status, or Lisa Nigrelli with any questions about testing itself or COVID-19 policies and procedures.
