A Single Scoop!
SCOOP ONE
At last week's School Board Meeting, there was mention that parents did not know how to go about getting extra support for their students. I want to remind you of this list of resources (directly below) that is included in the newsletter each week. If none of these supports work for your child, reach out to a principal our counselor! We are here to help!
You can call the office at any time for assistance! 507-328-5800. For specific contact info, see a list of staff members at the end of the newsletter. You can also link directly to teacher email in Skyward.

MN Department of Health Guidance
The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) shared updated guidance regarding saliva testing.
MDH recommends that all school-age youth returning to school, sports, or extracurricular activities, and their families, get tested for COVID-19 every two weeks through the end of the school year.
Testing, plus wearing masks and taking other precautions, such as social distancing and staying home (quarantining) when needed, are some of the best tools we have to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
There are COVID-19 community testing sites across Minnesota, in addition to local hospitals and clinics. Rochester does not have a community testing site available to residents. However, you can also use the COVID-19 test at home program. Testing is provided at no cost to you.
RPS shares this information with parents to help give you another way to support keeping your school community healthy and safe. There is no expectation or requirement that your child receives a surveillance COVID-19 saliva test. Of course, if your child is feeling ill, please have them stay home from school and contact your primary healthcare provider.
