COVID 19 Testing Kits

It’s that time of the year as we approach the holiday season, we want everyone to feel they can travel, spend time with their families, and enjoy their holidays without worry!

With all the traveling that people do, it is recommended to test prior to returning to campus.  This is NOT required to return to school in January.

We have been distributing At-home COVID testing kits to all students at Homestead who would like a kit during brunch and lunch this week.  If your student did not receive one and would like one, please have them stop by the GSS office to see Mrs. Fisher and pick one up!
