Hello Forest Hill families,This is a message to inform all parents/ guardians that Rapid Covid Tests will be sent home with all of our in-person students.

PLEASE READ THE LETTER & INSTRUCTIONS ATTACHED TO EACH KIT CAREFULLY.
USE OF THE TEST KIT IS VOLUNTARY.

When to Use the Rapid Antigen Screening Kit

It is recommended students conduct the rapid antigen tests every 3-4 days over the holiday break, on every Monday and Thursday beginning December 23, until all five tests have been used.

Rapid antigen screening kits are only to be used when a child is asymptomatic (i.e. does not have any symptoms of COVID-19 and has not had any exposure to a confirmed case of COVID-19).

Anyone with symptoms or who is identified as a close contact of a case should still get PCR testing. Rapid antigen screening tests should not be used as a substitute for PCR tests for people with symptoms or for people who are close contacts of cases.

Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any concerns.

Thank you

Kojo Millington
Vice-Principal
