Rapid Antigen Test Kit Letter
Please see the attached information below that has been provided by the Government of Ontario for distribution. In an effort to promote a safer return to the classroom after the winter break, the province is pleased to be able to provide take-home rapid antigen screening kits to every child who attends a publicly-funded school in Ontario. The rapid antigen screening kits are intended for use by any child that attends a publicly-funded school, regardless of their vaccination status. Rapid antigen screening kits are to be distributed to all students who participate in in-person learning. This testing option will not be available to students who have been learning remotely since September 2021. Please note, your child’s participation in this rapid antigen screening is voluntary. Students are not required to participate in order to return to the classroom after the winter break.
Testing kits are being sent home with students today (Monday, December 13, 2021). Please be sure to ask your child for the kit when it comes home and have all kits removed from backpacks.
