Opportunity: In early November 2021, vaccination for Covid-19 was approved for children ages 5 and up. For many members of our community, this poses a welcome additional mitigation strategy for their family. Link here is a list of resources to access the vaccine should that be helpful to your family. We will share links to vaccine finder tools and vaccine clinics on the ParentPlus Portal as we become aware of them. Rainbow will not require Covid vaccination for students, but will keep record of Covid vaccination status on file with other immunizations. This will be used to support appropriate exclusion timelines as a result of Covid contact in compliance with CDC guidance.

If your child is required to test negative for COVID before returning to school for a close contact or symptom, you will need to provide results from a PCR lab test or rapid molecular (PCR) test. The turnaround time on lab tests is usually within 48 hours while the rapid molecular (PCR) test should get you results in a few hours. Due to the current high demand, finding the rapid molecular (PCR) tests has proved to be challenging. We have compiled a list of test sites submitted to us by community members in an effort to make it easier to find a test. Updates to this list are always welcome!
