Voluntary COVID-19 testing for students and staff from Catholic Central High School, St. Anne French Immersion Catholic Elementary School and Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Elementary School will be held on Saturday, March 27 from 9 am to 3 pm.
The testing location is Kennedy Collegiate Catholic High School at 245 Tecumseh Road East.
This voluntary testing is being made available for students and staff who are not experiencing any COVID 19 symptoms but would still like to be tested.
In order to limit lineups and crowding, we have created assigned time slots which are sorted alphabetically by surname. A letter explaining all of the details about the testing process was sent home with students on March 18 and was also emailed to parents directly.
The testing is part of a community-wide approach, and all four school boards in the Windsor – Essex County area are working together to provide access to free, voluntary testing opportunities for in-person students, staff and children at schools and daycares within the community defined by the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit.
The other schools being invited to take part in the March 27 voluntary testing are Queen Victoria Public School, École élémentaire L’Envolée, École élémentaire Louise-Charron, École secondaire catholique E.J. Lajeunesse, École secondaire de Lamothe-Cadillac, Westview Freedom Academy, Walkerville Collegiate Institute and King Edward Public School.
Once school locations and dates have been determined for future voluntary testing opportunities families in those communities will be notified by their school board.
