FREE at-home rapid test kits will be distributed this week. Limit 2 per household, per week, while supplies last.

At Home test kits are NOT VALID for any individual who needs a negative result to return to school after an exposure. KCPS and many other organizations require MEDICALLY SUPERVISED Covid tests. At Home kits do not meet this requirement and will not be accepted by KCPS School Health Services Staff.
