Sequim School District families, students and staff,               10-12-2023               

Timely testing of students and staff with COVID-19 symptoms helps reduce the spread of COVID-19.  The Sequim School District has just received the IntelliSwab COVID-19 Rapid Home Test kits from the Washington State Department of Health that we can provide you with upon request. The FDA has extended the expiration date on these kits from 09-22-2023 to 09-22-2024.

U.S. households can also order four free COVID-19 rapid tests delivered to their home through the United States Postal Service. Please follow these links for your supply.

Those with Symptoms of COVID-19 (https://doh.wa.gov/emergencies/covid-19) such as cough, fever, sore throat, vomiting or diarrhea should not attend school, should stay home, and test for COVID-19. If you test Covid positive, everyone should stay at home for 5 days from the onset of symptoms and must be fever free for 24 hrs. (off any fever reducing medication) before returning to school.

·         If you used at at-home test, report your positive result to Washington’s COVID-19 hotline at 1-800-525-0127. (You no longer need to contact the Sequim School District to report results.)

Thank you,

Sonja Bittner RN and the Health Services Team
