What happens if my child tests positive on the rapid antigen test?

Update: Aug. 27, 2022

Students or staff who exhibit COVID-like symptoms at school will be directed to visit the school’s health room.

For students, if a parent/guardian has provided consent, the student will receive a rapid COVID test, then:

  • If the student tests positive, they will be sent home.
  • If the student tests negative but the school nurse concludes the severity of symptoms is significant enough, they will be sent home.
  • If the student tests negative and their symptoms are not associated with other communicable diseases and their symptoms are deemed by the nurse to be mild, they will be sent back to class. Parents/guardians will be notified when their child visits the health room.

If a parent/guardian has not provided consent for their child to be tested, the student will be sent home.
