Following are some important details to know about the COVID-19 test:

1. The test is VOLUNTARY. Students must have a “COVID-19 Testing Consent Form” on-file before a test can be administered to a student. The form must be fully completed and signed by a parent or guardian.

1. Testing is intended for students who are exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms.

1. COVID-19 symptoms include fever of 100.4° F or higher, chills, cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing and new loss of taste or loss of smell.

1. Students are required to administer their own test by swabbing their own nose. A testing administrator will oversee the process and provide verbal instructions to the student.

1. Testing will be conducted in the school’s Care Room or private space.

1. Students who exhibit COVID-19 symptoms on-site and are tested (whether positive or negative result) will be sent home. Further instructions will be provided at that time.

Please use this information to decide what is best for your student. If you have more questions, contact the East Orient main office at 503-663-4818.
