Dear MCS Families,
New York State distributed at-home COVID-19 test kits to Middleburgh Central Schools today. They are available for free to members of our school community. The purpose of dispersing these tests is to monitor the spread of COVID-19 as part of the ongoing effort to keep our school buildings open for in-person instruction. Anyone who would like to obtain a COVID-19 test kit should call and stop by the main office. Additional tests will be kept in our school health offices to be utilized, with parent/guardian permission, for symptomatic students or surveillance testing in order to keep students and staff in school safely.
Remember if your child has a symptom of COVID-19, they should be tested at home using a rapid test, or at a clinic, doctor’s office or a testing site. Anyone with a positive test result should isolate and contact the Schoharie County Department of Health and your school nurse.
