Last spring, upon returning to in-person learning, Purpose Built Schools had fewer than 10 COVID-19 cases, with no evidence of in-school spread thanks to our safety and prevention protocols.

Weekly Testing

Our schools strongly encourage all students to be tested weekly for COVID-19 at school every Friday. Caregivers, please complete the permission form sent home with your student(s) to consent for them to receive free COVID-19 tests at school.

Let's work together to keep staff, students and administration safe!

Please report to your school:

  • Any positive COVID-19 tests within your household
  • Any symptoms consistent with COVID-19
  • Exposure to anyone with a positive COVID-19 test or symptoms

If your student tests positive for COVID-19, your school will:

  • Keep your student’s identity confidential
  • Conduct contact tracing
  • Notify anyone in close contact with your student by phone within 24 hours
  • Clean and disinfect any exposed areas
  • Consult with local public health officials
  • Provide makeup work for your student to complete at home
