Optional COVID testing now available at the ESC
Optional COVID testing is accessible to our staff, students, and parents. Both Rapid and PCR tests are available. The testing takes place at the ESC in room 831 on Tuesdays and Fridays from 2 - 7 p.m.
The COVID testing staff, provided by a third party, is responsible for letting people in the side door on the south side of the building.
- If you have insurance, your insurance provider will be billed.
- If you do not have insurance, there is a cost of $110.00 for a PCR test and $50.00 for a rapid test. This comes as a result of the Federal Government no longer providing funding for testing
There will be signage placed both inside and outside of the building. To set up an appointment for testing, please complete this requisition form.
