    Dear TESD Families,

    TESD is grateful for our school community’s continued support for our COVID mitigation strategies. While the PA Department of Health Travel Order is no longer in place, we continue to seek ways to mitigate our risk. To aid in that effort, TESD is offering a rapid antigen COVID test to students and staff who travel over spring break. If you are interested in having your child participate in this one-time test, please see below.

    Here are the key points about the rapid antigen testing:

    1. Testing is voluntary and free of charge.
    2. The tests will be administered beginning Monday, April 5 during the school day.
    3. You need to sign up your child in advance.
    4. If you sign up, you will be contacted by the District with additional information, including a consent form you will need to sign in order for your child to participate.
    5. This rapid antigen test will require your child to self-swab each inner nostril for 20 seconds. Trained testing staff will provide direction and supervision to your child during this process.

    To sign up for this testing opportunity, please click on this link. You must complete the sign-up survey by 5:00 pm on Monday, March 22, 2021. We will follow up with the testing schedule and instructions once the sign-up window has closed.

    Thank you,
    TESD Pandemic Team
