Dear Bates Families,
The Bates School will begin the state sponsored weekly surveillance testing for Covid-19 tomorrow. Only students with signed permission forms will participate in testing. Testing consists of a shallow nasal sample, which is demonstrated in this video. If a positive pool is identified, the parent or guardian will be notified. If you wish to register and submit consent for your child to participate in Covid-19 testing, please visit: Covid-19 Testing Program Consent. New registrations will be eligible to participate in future pool testing.
Warm regards,
Toni Jolley
Bates Principal
Chris Spolidoro
Bates School Nurse
Viral Pool Testing Starts Tomorrow 10/7
