COVID-19 Testing for Students and Families

We strongly encourage all in-person students and their families to get tested for COVID-19 every two weeks through the end of the school year. Students involved in any extracurricular activities or sports should consider getting tested every week.


There are many options to get tested. You can visit a community testing site, get tested through your healthcare provider or order an at-home test kit. All options are quick, easy, and free to you. Find out more about each option here.


Make regular testing part of your routine

Getting tested regularly is the best way to ensure we don’t spread COVID-19. Here are some tips to incorporate regular testing into your regular routine.

  • Mark your calendar with regular testing reminders and bookmark the testing site for easy access.

  • Make testing appointments part of your weekend errands.

  • Make testing appointments a family day and spend time together.
