In early December, ISB distributed ATKs to families for each student. The calculation of supplies was based on their use only at the scheduled and required ISB times. For the week of January 17-21, we required daily ATK testing which used 3 tests per child more than our original count.
As such, by our calculation, each student should have enough ATKs for Sunday and Wednesday testing to last until the Feb. 20th test, following the February break (we do not require testing during the breaks), before school restarts. This includes (Jan 30, Feb 2, Feb 6, Feb 9, Feb 20).
If ATK’s provided by the school are used by families for additional testing purposes then we ask for you to replenish them yourself by purchasing ATK’s from a pharmacy (Abbott or similar).
As shared in a recent message from Dr. Davies, our recent review of neighboring pharmacies is that most have ATKs still available for sale.
The next distribution of ATKs for ES students will take place Feb 10 & 11 ahead of the break.
