[BHS Etree] ADMIN: At-Home Rapid Antigen Covid Tests

[BHS Etree]

Please do not reply to this email. If you have questions, please contact
BHS Principal Juan Raygoza at juanraygoza at berkeley.net.



Hello BHS Students and Families,


The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has provided BUSD with
free iHealth at-home COVID-19 tests for all BUSD students from preschool
through high school. BUSD staff are also receiving tests.


At BHS, we received 3,400 tests and they will be distributed to students
this week as part of the district’s winter break COVID-19 safety protocol.


*What To Do*


Your student will receive a box with two tests this week. The first test
should be taken by your student 3 days before returning to school (on
Friday, December 31) and the second test one day before returning to school
(on Sunday, January 2). Parents/guardians should administer these tests.
Later this week, the district will provide detailed instructions in the
event of a positive test result.


Written instructions for taking the test are inside of the box.
Instructions are currently available in English. We are working to source
Spanish-language instructions and expect to share these later this week as
well.


While your student is not required to take home a test box, we encourage
all families to do so and to follow the instructions that will be provided.
As COVID-19 case rates climb, these at-home rapid tests will help to stop
the spread of COVID-19 in our schools in 2022.


Thank you.

Hola Estudiantes y Familias de BHS,


El Departamento de Salud Pública de California (CDPH) ha proporcionado a
BUSD pruebas COVID-19 gratuitas de iHealth en el hogar para todos los
estudiantes de BUSD desde preescolar hasta la escuela secundaria. El
personal de BUSD también está recibiendo exámenes.


En BHS, recibimos 3,400 exámenes y se distribuirán a los estudiantes esta
semana como parte del protocolo de seguridad COVID-19 de las vacaciones de
invierno del distrito.


*Qué Hacer*


Su estudiante recibirá una caja con dos exámenes esta semana. Su estudiante
debe tomar la primera prueba 3 días antes de regresar a la escuela (el
viernes 31 de diciembre) y la segunda prueba un día antes de regresar a la
escuela (el domingo 2 de enero). Los padres / tutores deben administrar
estas pruebas. A finales de esta semana, el distrito proporcionará
instrucciones detalladas en caso de que el resultado de una prueba sea
positivo.


Las instrucciones escritas para tomar el examen están dentro de la caja.
Actualmente, las instrucciones están disponibles en inglés. Estamos
trabajando para obtener instrucciones en español y esperamos compartirlas
también más adelante esta semana.


Si bien no se requiere que su estudiante se lleve a casa una caja de
prueba, animamos a todas las familias a que lo hagan y sigan las
instrucciones que se les proporcionarán. A medida que aumentan las tasas de
casos de COVID-19, estas pruebas rápidas en el hogar ayudarán a detener la
propagación del COVID-19 en nuestras escuelas en 2022.


Gracias.
