The district does not have the ability to conduct mass testing at this time. Students will only be tested if symptomatic and determined to possibly have COVID-19 by the school nurse, or if they are a household contact wanting to attend school. All others should contact their family doctor for testing.
School COVID-19 tests are rapid tests and have not been found to be as accurate as PCR tests. When in doubt, please contact your family doctor for more thorough testing.

Option 1: Quarantine student for 5 days from last exposure.
Classwork will be made available to the student to complete while quarantined. Tutorials may be required when the student returns if there is an academic need.
Option 2: Have student continue to attend school.
Student must be separated from the positive case immediately & rapid test each morning for 5 consecutive days before attending class.
*If day 5 lands on a Saturday or Sunday the student must test on Monday.
