Changes to Testing Dates and Locations:

Routine testing days and locations are listed below (changes noted in red):

 

 

**Please note – weekly testing is mandated for all athletes at the Middle School and High School as a requisite to play**

 

Additional Testing Services Available:

As the cold and flu season is upon us, it is imperative that students and staff remain home if they are ill. Symptoms of COVID-19 mimic those of cold and flu in both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals. Despite the need for additional testing support, those seeking testing are often met with limited availability at testing sites and inconvenient testing locations.  PCR testing for symptomatic students and staff who remain home is available through the Project Beacon Platform.

If you are symptomatic, please stay home and contact your school nurse or the Director of Health Services for testing options.

 

In addition to symptomatic testing, ‘Day 5 or later testing’ is available to those individuals who are part of a home-based quarantine. This testing will potentially allow home-based quarantining persons to return to work and school earlier than the traditional 10 day quarantine if they are asymptomatic and test negative on Day 5 or later of their quarantine period.

 

If you require Day 5 testing, please contact your school nurse or the Director of Health Services for testing options.

 

**Close Contacts are identified by the Local Board of Health (LBOH) and will be notified of their status. If you have not been contacted by a LBOH you have not been identified as a close contact. Please contact your school nurse with questions.**
