Symptomatic Testing
If your student becomes symptomatic during the school day, they are able to be tested immediately and results arrive within 15 minutes.

Routine COVID -19 Safety Checks
Your student will participate in weekly “pooled” testing. Samples are collected in small groups and students may self-test if able. Samples are sent for testing and most results arrive within 48 hours. If any of the pool tests positive, families are notified and students are tested individually to identify the positive person(s).

Test & Stay
This option is available for unvaccinated close contacts who are identified to a positive Covid case while in school. If previously consented, the students may participate in daily testing for 7 days before school. If the result is negative, they are allowed to go to class.
