The district’s use of Abbott’s BinaxNOW rapid antigen test kits will be instrumental in helping to quickly identify COVID-positive cases within the system, thereby helping to limit spread of the virus. Both the test kits and the personal protective equipment (PPE) used by SPS nurses to conduct the tests are provided by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
Below are a few new notes for you and then several reminders.
* Student Parking - Students who have purchased a decal selected their assigned parking spots on Thursday and Friday. ALL students with a decal and hang tag must begin parking in their assigned spots on Monday.
Students who were absent on Feb. 4 & 5 and have already purchased a decal may see Mrs. Hunsaker upon their return to school to select a parking spot.
Any student who has not purchased a decal/tag will need to park on Jefferson Avenue beginning Feb. 8th. Do NOT park in any of the businesses lots near Kickapoo.
