**IMPORTANT​​** Parents, please see the updated COVID Testing in Schools protocol from the Department of Education:

 

COVID-19 Testing in Schools

​

Regular COVID-19 testing provides school communities and public health experts with valuable information. Continuing the successful safety practices of last year, there will be regular testing for COVID-19 in our schools.

​

​

Every school will randomly test, on a weekly basis, unvaccinated students who have submitted consent for testing. Testing will be conducted at a threshold of ten percent of unvaccinated students per school population. This way, if there is a positive case, action can be taken right away to protect the school community. Students and staff who are fully vaccinated are not required to be tested.

​

It is important that you provide consent for your child to participate in the in-school testing program.
