School Board Meetings
Optional Testing Available for Students Ages 5 and Up at Schools
In an email sent on Oct 20, I notified parents of optional PCR testing available at schools, every other Wed starting Oct 27. The testing is optional and not required. To participate, a consent form must be on file from a parent. Testing will be done in school using a nasal swab and test results will be sent to parents by email from the lab.
Please go to this web page to give consent or ask your school for a consent form. CIC Health COVID-19 Testing for Schools Consent webpage
Here is a video that explains the process of testing. COVID-19 testing in Vermont: How take your own sample
OV Quarter 1 ends Nov 3
OV parents should check their child’s portal for progress grades as the quarter comes to a close. If you are not sure how to check it, please contact the school.
Flu Shot Reminder
It is that time of year again- please consider getting a flu shot for your child. COVID and flu together do not mix well and may be hard to tell apart for the schools as well. Thanks for helping to keep us all well!
