COVID Pool Testing at GMS June 3

COVID Pool Testing at School-Next Testing Date-June 3

We must all do our part to prevent the transmission of the COVID-19 virus in our schools.
This includes participating in school-provided COVID-19 testing to identify cases where the student or staff member may not be showing symptoms.
The next GMS COVID testing date is on Thursday, June 3. Tests will be provided for all students and staff on a weekly basis. Each swab will be placed in a common tube for that classroom or group and sent off to a central testing laboratory.
The test detects whether the virus that causes COVID-19 is present in that pooled sample of Viking Crew.
Schools will receive results within 2-3 days.
In preparation for upcoming testing, if you do not complete the consent form, your child will not be able to participate in the testing.
