SVDP School
December 4, 2020 Newsletter
Hello SVDP Community,
We hope everyone had a restful Thanksgiving break. We head into December and the season of Advent.
All around the world Christians call the season leading up to Christmas Advent.
Advent means "coming."
God is to send His only begotten Son, to save the world from sin.
In the hustle and bustle of today's world sometimes we forget to be still.
Advent is a time for patience, for we must wait.
Advent is a time for reflection, for we must wait.
Advent is a time for stillness, for we must wait.

JINGLE MINGLE - COVID STYLE

COVID-19 Testing at Saint Vincent de Paul
New Date Added - January 6, 2021
We have arranged a new on site COVID testing date on Wednesday, January 6th. Employees, registered school families, and the immediate family members of either group are invited to utilize this service.
This test is not mandatory, but a courtesy service given the choices people must make about travel and family interactions around Christmas. The new test date is scheduled for Wednesday, to avoid our COVID campus protocols, where students are only allowed to enter / exit campus once per day. We hope this gives you more flexibility in scheduling.
The test site will be open from 8:30 – 3:30. You must have an appointment, there will be no walk-ins permitted. If you wish to take part in this testing program, click here for an appointment time. Each individual must have their own appointment time.
Necessary forms and additional information are available on SchoolSpeak or follow the link to your appointment confirmation:
- Patient Test Request Form (must be downloaded, completed, and submitted to nurse at test site)
- Consent for Venous Puncture (if applicable must be downloaded, completed, and submitted to nurse at test site)
- HRSA COVID-19 Uninsured Program (if applicable must be downloaded, completed, and submitted to nurse at test site)
- Notice of Privacy Practice
- Instructions to access lab results on PMH portal
At your appointment, please bring:
- A photocopy of the front and back of your medical insurance ID card. They will need one copy for every family member being tested, even if the information is the same. The paperwork stays with the sample, so it cannot be shared.
- Completed Patient Test Request Form (see above)
- Completed Consent for Venous Puncture (if applicable, see above)
The test site will be set up in the staff parking lot (corner of Green and Pierce). If weather prohibits an outdoor event, the testing will be moved inside the gym.
Currently, the schedule is open for one appointment per time slot. However, they will open more appointments based on demand.
