Health and Safety Protocols for a Safe Return to School

From Newton Public Schools:

As we prepare for the return to school on Monday, we wanted to remind you of a few health and safety protocols:

If you have opted into the at-home rapid antigen test program, please use one test on Sunday, February 27 prior to your return to school on Monday. Please use the other test in the kit on Tuesday, March 1.

  • The mask mandate remains in place. All students and staff are required to wear masks inside school buildings and on buses/vans. The School Committee will meet on March 1 and March 7 to review the mask policy.
  • Please complete the daily health assessment. If your student has any symptoms associated with COVID, please keep them home and check in with your primary care physician.​​​​​​​
  • The Medical Advisory Group’s recommendation from their February 15 meeting is here: Medical Advisory Group Recommendation – February 15, 2022. The updated Health and Safety Plan is here: Health and Safety Plan – Updated February 2022.

Thank you for your ongoing partnership in keeping our school school community healthy.
