Message from the Health Room
There has been some confusion about PCR vs. antigen testing for COVID-19. 

  • If a child stays home OR has been sent home with symptoms of COVID-19 and you wish to have them tested, KMSD requires a negative PCR test, which follows the CDC and Waukesha County guidelines for schools. This is for children with symptoms.
 
  • Not every doctor’s office automatically does PCR testing. Please verify the type of testing before having it done.

  • Documented proof of a negative PCR test is required before a child is allowed back in the classroom along with the child being symptom free for at least 24 hours without the use of medication.
 
Feel free to email our Health Room Staff: Susan Wilson (wilsonsusan@kmsd.edu) and/or Becky Chiang (chiangr@kmsd.edu) or call the COVID-19 RN or Health Hotline if you have any questions.

How: We will be taking pre-recorded digital submissions from each participant, and are planning to have a live viewing on the evening of April 23rd where students can watch from home with their families. We will also be working with the students’ teachers to coordinate times for them to watch with their class. Details on sign-up, format, and digital requirements will follow in the coming weeks, but you can absolutely start planning with your child what amazing talent they would like to showcase! We are really excited to see what the kids will do given the opportunity to expand their talent beyond the stage!  

For the parents of 5th graders: We will still be making this an event they can take pride in volunteering for and bringing to life! Details on how this will work will follow as well. Thank you in advance to everyone for embracing the accommodations we will be making to the usual format and making this a unique and fun event for everyone involved!
