Test to Stay Protocol

If a student is identified to be exposed to a Covid positive, parents will be contacted to determine whether the parent wants to participate in the Test to Stay option. Parents can give permission for their student to be tested three time within the next seven days and stay at school with negative results and wearing a face covering. If a parent chooses to not have their child tested, the student will quarantine for 10 days. Covid tests can be administered in the school nurses offices free of charge. If you have questions, you may contact your child’s school building.
