Garfield Re-2 News for our families
February 12, 2021
Garfield Re-2 Superintendent Grumley and District 16 Superintendent Ray received their COVID-19 vaccines on Friday, Feb. 12.
Thank you to our health care partners at Mountain Family Health and Grand River Health for getting so many staff members their vaccines so quickly!!!
NEW and UPDATED FREE WEEKLY COVID 19 TESTING
Western Garfield free COVID testing is still available in New Castle, Rifle and Parachute one day per week through March 1, though pre-registration links and times have changed.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) is no longer using Curative testing and has switched to Mako testing due to concerns about the accuracy of Curative tests. Curative tests may have shown false negative results.
*** There will be no testing available on Monday, Feb. 15, due to the President’s Day holiday.
