We are writing to let you know that an additional shipment of COVID-19 rapid antigen tests will be coming to First Nations schools, further to those mentioned in our previous notices on January 19th and February 8th.  FNESC and the FNSA continue to assist the Ministry of Education with test distribution.

As previously noted, First Nations schools are encouraged to work with local First Nations leadership to determine how the rapid tests will be distributed.

If tests will be provided to families, the Ministry of Education recommends that a notice be provided to families prior to the tests being sent home. The following correspondence can be distributed:

Updates and resources from FNESC and FNSA related to COVID-19 are available at www.fnesc.ca/covid19 and www.fnsa.ca/covid19.
