December 23, 2021 Updates

 Dear North Reading Public Schools Community,

I hope that everyone has a wonderful and well-deserved holiday break!

As we head into the new year, a few reminders…

  • With many people taking at home tests we anticipate many questions as we return to school. If you have any doubts about whether you are cleared to return or if you have any symptoms, please remain on home on January 3rd and work with the school nurses to determine the best course of action.
  • Everyone should continue to complete the Daily Health Screener each day.
  • This year we have had hundreds of students remain in school because of the test and stay program. If you would like to participate in test and stay please be sure to complete the CIC Form.
  • If you would like to participate in routine pooled testing and are not already enrolled, please complete both the CIC form and the NR form. Every submission prior to December 31st will be included in the new year (You do not need to re-enroll if you are currently participating).

Data and Dashboard

For the month of December, through today, we have 93 students and 17 staff positive cases. Please review the dashboard for updates and additional information.

Our Nurses continue to do an unbelievable job at supporting our students and providing the test and stay option. Hundreds of students have been able to remain in school because of the test and stay procedures that we have in place this year.

As we gather and travel this holiday season it is important to be mindful of this important information while we find ways to safely share in the joys of the season with our family and friends.

Please stay safe and be well,

Dr. Daly
