Our school has been selected to participate in the Increasing Community Access to Testing (ICATT) program. ICATT is providing screening testing coverage for teachers, staff, and students in communities to expand testing in schools. ICATT expands testing operations in schools to reduce COVID-19 disease spread, ensure that schools are safe environments for learning, and help schools stay open. Additional information on ICATT, can be found here: https://www.openandsafeschools.org/about

What is the COVID-19 testing program?

• Participating students/staff will be tested for COVID-19 once a week by the ICATT staff
• The test is performed at your school.
• The COVID-19 test is quick, easy and it does not hurt. (A nasal test gently swabs the lower inner nostril, and lab results are sent within 24 hours.)
• The test is free. You do not need to pay for the test or have insurance to get the test.
• The program is optional, but we hope you will participate to help us stop the spread of COVID-19.
• 
  

To participate in the testing program, you need to sign a consent form for your child. You only need to sign up once for the weekly testing. Information will only be shared with the Department of Public Health and other departments if a student/staff tests positive in an individual test.

If you are interested in signing your child up for this VOLUNTARY program, please fill out consent form at the following link:
