Viral Pool Testing Starts Tomorrow 10/7

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
