Dear Tiverton Parent Community,

I hope this message finds you well. Considering the recent increase in COVID-19 cases within our district, our top priority is ensuring the safety and well-being of our students and staff.

To further safeguard our community, we are pleased to announce that we will provide a free COVID-19 test kit for all students. These kits will be distributed on Friday, February 16, 2024. If, for any reason, you do not wish for your child(ren) to receive a test kit, kindly contact your child's school at your earliest convenience.

We strongly recommend using the test kit over the weekend of February 23-25, especially if your child exhibits any symptoms. This timing allows for proactive testing before the students return to school from the winter break.

For any inquiries or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the school nurse at your child's school. Your collaboration and understanding are greatly appreciated as we work together to maintain a safe and healthy learning environment.

Also,

Due to the anticipated severe weather conditions, Tiverton Public Schools will be closed for in-person instruction, as well as all after-school activities on Tuesday, February 13, 2024. In light of this, students will be provided with their Chromebooks and are required to adhere to a distance learning day schedule. Precise schedules will be communicated by the respective principals shortly. Your safety and education remain our top priorities during this challenging weather event.

Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Peter Sanchioni
