ALL students must be tested WEEKLY for COVID-19. Please return your student's COVID-19 Testing consent form to any teacher, administer, or member of the front desk staff.
What if my child tests positive for COVID-19 in school?
If you child tests positive after taking the in-school PCR (drool test) they will need to be picked up and remain home for 10 calendar days. They must be symptom free in order to return to school.
Please have your student reach out to their teachers if they are feeling well enough to complete any school work.
What if my child tests positive for COVID-19 out of school?
Parents/Guardians - please complete this form to let us know if your child tests positive for COVID-19 outside of school. You do not need to complete this if your child tests positive as a result of the school-based test. This information will only be viewed by school administrators.
