Covid Testing
October 28, 2021
Dear Parent/Guardian,
We can no longer accept negative Rapid COVID tests per the Niagara County Department of Health due to a high rate of transmission in our county.
Students and staff may return to school or work with either a copy of the negative COVID PCR or NAAT test result OR a note from a healthcare provider indicating the test was negative.
Nucleic acid amplification tests (NAAT) are the most sensitive type of test available and the best option for ensuring that symptomatic people with COVID-19 are excluded from school.
If you do not wish to have a NAAT (PCR) test performed you will need to: Quarantine for 10 days (Students will need to be scheduled with an MD for Cardiac Clearance to return to play/gym, recess, sports)
Most testing places state if you are symptomatic, insurance should cover the testing.
Call your MD office as some doctor's offices offer PCR testing.
