PPS School Board passes resolution regarding middle and high school students participating in extracurricular activities
Good evening, PPS families –
Last night, at the Regular Meeting of the School Board of the City of Portsmouth, the School Board
passed a resolution mandating that all middle and high school students taking part in sports programs or
extracurricular activities either show proof of their COVID-19 vaccination or submit to weekly COVID-19
testing at the school.
In accordance with the resolution, every PPS middle and high school student participating in athletics or
extracurricular activities (as well as all coaches and sponsors) are required to either be fully vaccinated
by Monday, Dec. 6, or submit to weekly testing. The weekly testing will be available at schools and it will
be done at no charge.
To assist families in getting their child vaccinated, the school division will be hosting vaccination clinics in
the weeks to come. More information will be sent out as those dates and times are finalized.
Thank you.
