NATICK – Natick Superintendent of Schools Anna Nolin is reporting “all of our 167 pools from last week were virus-free,” in an email to parents tonight, March 5.

“Every principal put on PPE” and helped to swab noses said the Superintendent about the district’s pooled testing program to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

“I am so very proud of our team,” said Nolin.

“A flurry of new parent requests have come in post-completion of this week’s testing and I think our participation rates will be even higher next round. Rough estimate is that district wide we are at about 66% participation by staff and students,” said Nolin to parents.
