RETURNING FROM WINTER BREAK: RAPID TESTING AND PCR TESTING
MVLA has procured at-home COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test kits for all students and school employees to use for testing as we return from Winter Break. These testing activities will support our efforts to ensure that our campuses remain open and safe.
This Thursday, February 17, students and staff will receive two test kits to take home. They will need to complete both tests before returning to campus on March 1. The tests are simple to perform. A letter with further instructions has been sent home to families from the school principal.
PCR Testing will be available at the District Office, 1299 Bryant Avenue, Mountain View, on:
Thursday, February 24, from 9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
