Dear Avon Families,
Here is the latest information on COVID cases and testing. As we return from February break, please note the updated information and recommendations below regarding testing. For the latest information on masking, please see the COVID Update from 2/18/22.
COVID Case Update -
Here are the COVID cases that have been reported this week:
3 cases in the Elementary School
3 staff members
ACS Diagnostic COVID Testing -
Testing schedule for 2/28/22 through 3/4/22: Monday and Thursday, 9:00 am-3:00 pm
As a reminder, testing is available as a diagnostic/response test. If you or your child would like a rapid shallow nasal-swab diagnostic COVID test, please send an email to covid.testing@avoncsd.org You will then receive a Google form to choose a time to be tested along with the consent form and intake form that will need to be completed prior to the test. If you have any questions please contact Michelle Burke at mburke@avoncsd.org
Test results take approximately 15 minutes. You will be notified in the event of a positive only.
Please do not 'walk in' for a COVID Test. Tests can be scheduled quickly with a simple email.
Home Test Kits Available-
We still have home test kits available for families. Although not required, it is strongly recommended that families plan to test before students return from February break. Anyone who missed the opportunity to pick up test kits last week can make arrangements to pick up kits at the school by calling the District Office at 226-2455, ext. 1320 or emailing Jen VanRy at jvanry@avoncsd.org
