2021-22 Parent Handbooks were emailed to all parents on Sunday, August 8, 2021. They are also available in the resources section at the bottom of the ParentPlus Portal homepage and will be available on the school website later this week.

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. Three recently confirmed sources for this test are Mercy Urgent Care, Ashewell Medical Group, and Walgeens. You will likely be asked to have your child evaluated in a telemed call at Mercy Urgent Care before scheduling a test. Ashewell Medical group does not require a telemed visit. Ashewell Medical Group does not accept insurance for any services, so you will need to pay up front and send in a payment request to your insurance; however, they are fast and it is easy to schedule an appointment online at Ashewell. While Walgreens does have rapid PCR testing (called the ID NOW on their website) available currently, as of today they only had appointments available 24 to 48 hours out. Of course, check with your child’s health care provider for additional information on COVID or testing.
