MILFORD, CT — Milford Public Schools community members will receive a free rapid COVID-19 test kit. The state Department of Health is encouraging students and staff to take a test the morning before a school system goes mask optional. "Accepting a free test kit and subsequently taking the test is completely voluntary," Superintendent Anna Cutaia wrote in a letter to the school community. Test kits will be handed out Thursday Feb. 24. Here is the test hand-out process: High Schools: Test kits will be offered directly to all students during the school day. Middle and Elementary Schools: Test kits will be offered to all parents/guardians at dismissal (for those in vehicles waiting for their student and for walker pickups). After-School Hours: For families that were not able to receive a free test kit at the end of the school day, the free test kits will continue to be distributed at the front entrances of Jonathan Law High School and Joseph A. Foran High School, on Thursday, 2/24, from 5:00 - 6:30 p.m. This will be a drive-thru pickup. Directional signage and staff will be available to assist you upon arrival. During School Hours: If you are unable to pick up a test kit during the above times, test kits will be available for pickup at your child's school during school hours excluding drop-off times. Please visit the front entrance and someone will assist you. Read the full letter here.
