Dear NPS Families:

This is a reminder that today, Monday, January 31st at 3:00 p.m. the district will push out via text and email a notification for you to opt in to receive a COVID rapid test kit with two tests in each kit for your student(s). There is no charge for the test kit.

The notification looks similar to the daily morning health attestation which families will continue to receive daily. You can opt in at anytime before Wednesday, February 2nd at 8:00 a.m. You only need to opt in once. Test kits will be sent home with students by the end of the week and each week thereafter.

For more information, please read my email dated January 29, 2022 or review this brief presentation: New NPS Testing Program

Sincerely,

Dan Gutekanst

Superintendent of Schools
