Optional Covid Testing at ASCA

Our protocol at All Saints, in accordance with the local health department, has been to send a child home if he/she exhibits a COVID symptom and requires a negative COVID test result for the child to return to school.

We are now able to administer a rapid COVID test here at school for symptomatic individuals, with parent consent. Please click here to download the consent form, which must be completed and returned to the school nurse if you would like your child to participate. This program is optional. If you return the written consent, we will still contact you via phone before administering the test to inform you of your child’s symptom(s) and receive verbal consent. You will be notified of all test results as well. If you have any questions, please contact our nurse, Mrs. Fuller (sfuller@ascacademy.org).

The CDC, the IL Department of Public Health and the DuPage County Health Department are updating information about the coronavirus (COVID-19) on their websites regularly.
