We will distribute new sets of ATKs to MS students this week, on Wednesday (G6 & 8) and Thursday (G7). Please collect these kits from your children on these days.
How many should I have left?
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 this Sunday and Wednesday and the Sunday we return from break, Feb. 20th test (we do not require testing during the breaks), before school restarts. This includes (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 new kits should last from Feb 23rd until March 20th, assuming 2 tests per week.
