COVID Response & Updates
Successful Reopening
In September 2020, Saint Peter School welcomed all students back for in-person learning five days a week. Thanks to the hard work of staff and parents, as well as the ongoing diligence of our entire community, we have provided uninterrupted in-person learning for the past 12 months.
COVID-19 Testing at SPS - For SY21-22, thanks to a partnership with DESE, the MA DPH, and CIC Health, SPS is able to offer three levels of COVID-19 testing and security to our students and staff.
- Weekly Surveillance Testing: All students and staff can be tested weekly for COVID, to ensure the ongoing health and safety of our entire community.
- Test-and-Stay Testing: If a positive case is identified within the SPS community, all "close contacts" can continue coming to school and will be tested daily to protect against spread and in-school transmission.
- Symptomatic Testing: If students start exhibiting mild symptoms after they arrive at school, our school nurses can administer a rapid test. If it comes back negative, that student may be allowed to stay in school.
