Health & Safety Updates
Beginning on April 4th, it will be optional for teachers, students and visitors to wear masks outdoors on campus. At this time there are no updates in regards to the indoor masking requirement and we will continue to require masks indoors. Both State and County public health departments have emphasized that masks continue to be strongly recommended indoors in school settings and that school districts may continue to require masking at schools and during school activities.
We continue to be committed to a phased approach in rolling back existing mitigation strategies.
COVID-19 Testing Options
There are several free/low-cost options available to individuals to get tested for COVID-19 outside of school. You do not need insurance to get free PCR and rapid antigen tests through any of these options:
