This program is offered to any staff member or student with parental approval at no cost. Through this program, we will be able to identify COVID-19 cases quickly and early, which can help stop an outbreak before it happens. This will help us keep students in the classroom and able to take part in school activities.
We are working with the Tennessee Department of Education and are joining other school districts throughout the state to offer this program.
How is the testing done? The COVID-19 testing is free, quick, and easy. Members of our school nursing staff will perform testing with a PCR test, which includes:
- Gently swabbing the inner part of the lower nostril. This test is not painful.
How can I be sure that my child’s information will be protected? Sharing of information about your child will only be done for public health purposes and in accordance with applicable law and policies protecting student privacy and the security of your child’s data.
We are extremely grateful to our committed families and staff who continue to show great flexibility and resilience as we work together to contain the spread of this virus. If you have questions regarding the COVID-19 Testing Program, please reach out to your child's school nurse or school directly.
