important message about rapid antigen test kits
The Government of Ontario has provided Limestone District School Board students with Rapid Antigen Testing Kits to promote a safer return after the December break. Use of the Rapid Antigen Tests is voluntary. Each kit contains 5 test kits and hard copy instructions will be sent home with the kits.
Rapid Antigen Tests are only to be used when a student 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.
If students have symptoms or are a close contact of a confirmed case of COVID-19, they need to do the PCR testing at a local testing site or pharmacy that offers PCR testing. Similarly, if a student tests positive on a Rapid Antigen Test, they should then get a confirmatory PCR test at a local testing site or pharmacy and isolate until test results are known.
For more information, please click below for pdf's of letters going home with test kits. You can also read the latest COVID updates at the LDSB website.
Rapid Antigen Test Kits will go home with Sydenham P.S. students on Dec. 13th.
Spirit Days Continue at Sydenham P.S. !!
