(PSS) — Acting Education Commissioner Eric M. Magofna issued the following memorandum on Sunday:
We are looking forward to welcoming your child back on campus. As eager as we are to open our classrooms, we know that here is still some apprehension about returning to classes face-to-face. We are fully aware that Covid is here and information changes daily. To help alleviate concerns regarding the recent increases of positive cases in the community, and to ensure that we continue to provide the safest possible learning environment, below is the updated reopening plan.
PSS will reopen schools based on their scheduled Covid-19 screening/testing dates. Schools that are not scheduled for screening/testing on Monday, November 29,2021, will continue with remote online learning until their scheduled date.

Screening/Testing Mandate Enforcement
On August 17, 2021, the commissioner, Dr. Alfred Ada, released a memo mandating quarterly screening/testing in all schools. Thus, in light of the increase in positive cases in our community, CNMI PSS will be enforcing the mandated Covid-19 Screening/Testing before the resumption of the face-to-face instruction. In partnership with the Governor’s Covid-19 Task Force and the Commonwealth Health Corporation, the screening/testing schedule shared above will be made available to all staff students.
Parents should register their child to get screened/tested for Covid-19 at https://covidtesting.chcc.health
The school code to register for school-based screening/testing will be SBT6700. This code is strictly for students and staff registration.
Once again, we ask that you registered online ahead of your child’s scheduled screening/testing date. Parents who previously registered for 2nd quarter screening/testing will automatically be registered and do not need to register again (an updated confirmation will be emailed).
If you need assistance to do so, please contact your child’s school.
Thank you, as always, for your support and understanding.
