Office - 2021-2022 School
Year
Welcome
Back LCHS Families,
LPS is committed to providing
a safe space for students to
learn and grow during the
COVID-19 pandemic. One of the
many ways we are addressing
safety is by providing a
robust testing plan. Students
and staff will be able to
participate in three different
testing programs. They are:
Symptomatic Testing: (students
who present with mild symptoms
while at school; students
should not go to school if
experiencing symptoms while at
home): A sample is collected
by a shallow nasal swab at
school using the BinaxNOW
rapid antigen test. The rapid
test only takes 15 minutes to
get results. If the test is
negative and the student has
mild symptoms, he/she can
return to class.
"Test and Stay":
(A student who the school
nurse has determined is a
close contact from a school
related exposure): A sample is
collected by a shallow nasal
swab at school using the
BinaxNOW rapid antigen test.
Tests are administered daily
from the first day of exposure
for 7 days.
Routine COVID Safety Checks: (Formerly pooled testing):
Students perform a shallow
nasal swab to themselves.
Samples are sent in groups of
5-10. If a pool is positive
all individuals in that pool
will need further COVID-19
testing. If the pool is
negative, all individuals in
that pool have tested negative
for COVID-19 that day.
If you would like your student
to participate in COVID-19
testing, you will need to fill
out a testing consent. A paper
consent will be sent home with
your student, please fill it
out and return it to the
school nurse. You
may also access an online
consent form by clicking
here.
We look forward to learning
and growing with you this
year.

Vaping
Information and Resources
Dear Parents & Guardians,
The letter below is to inform
you of issues surrounding
“vaping”/ “juuling.” (using
e-cigarettes). Lynn Classical
High School would like to
share information about vaping
with our parents and
guardians. Vaping is a serious
concern for teens across the
country. There are
misconceptions that it is a
“healthy” alternative to
smoking when in fact it
carries its own risks.

Feel free to contact us with

Thank you for partnering with
us on this important topic of
public interest.
We will continue to work to
educate our students in all
aspects of adolescent
development.
