Collection COVID Testing Event
Here is the information regarding the program:
Our district has chosen to participate in Operation Expanded Testing, a program supported and
funded through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to provide COVID-19 PCR
testing to K-12 schools at no cost to the school. Participation in this program helps schools stay safer against the risk of COVID-19. This program will help keep students in the classroom and prevent the spread of COVID-19 via weekly testing for students and staff. Four staff members which includes myself and Nurse Tara have been trained.
To opt into the program, please visit the following site: Link to register child for testing
The registration process takes less than 5 minutes. For a short video guide on “how to” complete the registration/consent, activate your child’s online account to view results: View Video Here
