Covid Testing for Students:

School-based Testing

Every school will randomly test biweekly unvaccinated students, who have submitted consent for testing, at a threshold of ten percent of unvaccinated students per school population (Pre-K and Kindergarten are excluded). Please note that students must submit a new COVID-19 testing consent form for the 2021-2022 school year to participate in the testing program. If your child is tested, we will let you know they were tested and when and how you will receive the results, which will typically be provided within 48-72 hours.

Consent

Submitting consent to have your child tested for COVID-19 in school is quick and easy. Please note: if you already submitted consent during the last school year or summer, you will need to do so again for the 2021-2022 school year. There are two easy ways to submit:

• Fill out the form online using a New York City Schools Account (NYCSA)

• Print and fill out the form.
