Dear Needham Public Schools Families: This afternoon, Friday, February 4th at 3:00 p.m. we will push out via text and email another opportunity for those families who have yet to tell us if they wish to opt in to receiving rapid test kits for students. The text and email will come through the daily Health Attestation app. To date, over 55% of our students have opted in to the program and will be receiving test kits (two tests per kit) weekly. *If you have already opted in to the program or indicated that you do not wish to participate in the program, you will not receive a text or email.* For more information about this program and the symptomatic testing program, please view this presentation: NPS Family Testing Information <https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1NTfYBGjHCINRAZCY1HH5xzp2wXh3H6CuGKsRRxBYO48/edit?usp=sharing> Sincerely, Dan Gutekanst Superintendent of Schools Needham Public Schools 1330 Highland Avenue, Needham, MA 02492 781-455-0400 x11203 dan_gutekanst@needham.k12.ma.us ATTENTION: If you speak a language other than English, language assistance services are available to you free of charge.
