Hello Students and Parents,
It has come to my attention that some students may have obtained the wrong test for admission to campus. To clarify, once again, we require the PCR test as opposed to the rapid antigen test. In at least one instance, through no fault of their own, a family was misinformed by a testing site and obtained the wrong test. We regret that even in these unfortunate circumstances, we still must require proof of a negative PCR test in order for a student to be admitted to campus. Having a negative PCR test from faculty and students is a critical component of our reopening plan.
Another question that has arisen is regarding "inconclusive" test results. Unfortunately, an "inconclusive" test result is not acceptable, and the test should be repeated.
We are all in this together, and we thank you for your continuing support.
