To make your home testing efforts more effective, view and download the new Safely Opening Schools toolkit resources for both schools and families, including posters and videos. Additional translations and videos will be added soon!
Thank you,



NEW! COVID-19 Home Testing Campaign
Dear School Leaders,
Like you, we hope that this will be the final year of the pandemic. Although cases have declined, this virus is undeniably still with us, with new variants cropping up in recent weeks along with a growing concern about a new surge this winter. As you prepare to send out millions of home tests kits for the holidays, these tools can help make your campaign more effective. View and download the new Safely Opening Schools resources for both schools and families to help strengthen your home testing efforts. They include a toolkit with information for schools and ready to send materials for parents that can be sent electronically or on paper, posters and a social media video clip, in multiple languages. More videos and translations soon to be available.
Thank you,

Safely Opening Schools partners with the California Department of Public Health to support the rollout of school-based rapid antigen testing across the state. We provide technical assistance to school districts about how to set up school COVID-19 testing programs and work with school communities to incentivize consents for broad support for on-site COVID-19 testing.
