Binax Testing Information
The Wachusett Regional School District is offering rapid COVID-19 testing using the Abbott BinaxNow COVID-19 antigen test. Testing will be offered to students and staff who develop symptoms during the school day. The goal of in-school testing is to quickly identify and isolate COVID-19 positive individuals so our school community remains as safe as possible. This is one tool WRSD will use to mitigate the impact of COVID within the school community. Participation in this program is voluntary.
What to Expect: If a student or staff develops symptoms during the school day, the school nurse will complete an assessment. For a symptomatic student, the school nurse will contact their parent/guardian, describe the symptoms, and offer the BinaxNow COVID-19 test.
COVID -19 Symptoms
Fever (100.0° Fahrenheit or higher), chills, or shaking chills
Cough (not due to other known cause, such as chronic cough)
Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath

Parents/guardians who wish for their child(ren) to participate will register for Project Beacon online, using the links below before the test is administered.

This test is a screening tool. Participation is voluntary,
and there is no cost to participants to have the test done.
Results and Follow-Up: BinaxNow COVID-19 test results will be available within 30 minutes. Your school nurse will then help you navigate through the next steps of care based on the individual's symptoms and test result.
