COVID-19 Rapid Home Test Kits for 3-K and Pre-K Programs

UPDATED 1/13/2021

​

Students in 3-K and pre-K, who become ill while at school, may only be picked up from school by a parent/guardian or other adult designated on the student’s blue, home-contact card. In addition, please note the following: 

​

• Symptomatic 3-K or pre-K students can return to school if all three of the following conditions are met:  

  • The student has taken two at-home tests, at least 24-hours apart, or one molecular test, that is negative for COVID-19; and 

  • The student has been fever-free for 24-hours, without the use of medication; and  

  • The student’s overall symptoms are improving.

• If symptomatic 3-K or pre-K students do not get tested for COVID-19, they can return to school only after all three of the following conditions are met:  

  • At least 10 days have passed since the symptoms started; and   

  • The student has been fever-free for 24-hours, without the use of medication; and 

  • The student’s overall symptoms are improving. 

 

 

Additionally, for students in 3-K and pre-K, the quarantine policy currently remains the same: any 3-K or pre-K student who was in close proximity to a positive case will still need to quarantine for 10 days. However, these students have the option to take a COVID-19 test on day five (5) or later, and return to school on day eight (8).
