Sign Up for the At-Home Rapid Antigen Test!



The Newton Public Schools is shifting its testing strategy away from pooled testing (PCR) and toward at-home weekly rapid antigen tests. This new weekly at-home rapid antigen test is for ALL students PreK-12+ (vaccinated and unvaccinated.)


We expect the new testing program to be implemented the week of February 7, 2022. Below is specific information you will need in order for your student to participate in the new at-home testing program:

  • All families need to “opt-in” to this new testing program. The previous consent form will NOT apply.

    • Access the Opt-in form through Aspen parent/guardian account: Aspen

    • Follow these instructions (link) once you are logged into Aspen


  • An at-home rapid antigen tests kit will be distributed at school every other week. Each kit will contain two tests.


  • NPS recommends that all families conduct a rapid test on TUESDAY of each week.




All testing information can be found on our website here: NPS COVID Testing Webpage.
