DPSCD Offers Weekly Covid-19 Saliva Testing for Staff and Students

 

 

March 7, 2021

 

Dear Families, 

 

In order to monitor and prevent the spread of COVID-19, we are offering weekly, saliva-based PCR testing for students and staff at our school. Saliva testing is less invasive than nasal swabs and is an easy way to identify people who may have the virus without symptoms. If you would like your student to be tested, you must provide consent. The collection will happen at school during the school day. Results will be sent to your cell phone within 1-2 days. Please note, if your student has a medical condition that prevents saliva testing, we can arrange for nasal swab testing.
