With Thanksgiving break a little more than one week away, Baltimore City Public Schools is updating its COVID-19 protocols.

Before going on vacation November 23, each student and staff member will be given an At-Home test kit.

The school system says students and staff should take the tests one or two days prior to returning on November 28.

Anyone testing positive must continue to isolate for at least 5 days after diagnosis, and is urged to call the school's tracing team at 443-984-1200 or email contacttracing@bcps.k12.md.us.

Based on CDC guidance, the school system will no longer conduct bi-weekly screening testing as of January 3, 2023.
