  Dear parents, families, and the North Reading Public Schools community, I'm writing today with just a few important reminders about school health and safety. The town of North Reading continues to remain in the “yellow” category and it is as important than ever that we follow all rules for physical distancing, social gatherings, mask wearing, and hand washing both in school and when at home. Daily Health Screener All staff and students should continue to complete our  Daily Health Screener . This should be done in the morning  before coming on the bus or campus  (not the night before or after arrival).

The students are complying with all of the rules and regulations both when in remote and in person and wearing masks, physically distancing, and washing their hands as needed. Students and staff are staying home when sick, or for related reasons, out of an abundance of caution. And everyone continues to complete our daily health screener which is providing us with additional information to keep our buildings safe.
