From the Health Center
With the long weekend upon us, we just wanted to send a note to let you know that a COVID test is NOT required for returning to campus after this long weekend.
With that said, COVID is on the rise in the U.S. the last few days, so please, if your child becomes ill while home over the weekend, take them for a rapid test and a PCR COVID test, even if they are boostered, and let the Health Center know.
For those who join us for required weekly testing, we will be doing your testing in the dorm Monday evening this week instead of Sunday, and in the Health Center on Tuesday for those day students and adults who usually test on Mondays. If your child has not had a booster vaccine yet, this would be a great opportunity to take them for a booster vaccine so they do not have to have testing weekly. All local pharmacies have same-day appointments available.

Business Office — School Store Purchases
Happy spring! We have had requests from students asking if they can charge school store purchases on their incidental account at FACTS. We would like to accommodate this, so for the remainder of this school year, we will allow students to charge items from the school store as long as a parent emails permission to the Business Office and the FACTS account must be current. If you have any questions, feel free to email business_office@tiltonschool.org.
