Voluntary COVID-19 testing for students and staff from Immaculate Conception Catholic Elementary School and St. Angela Catholic Elementary School will be held on Saturday, March 13 from 9 am to 3 pm.
The testing location is Immaculate Conception Catholic Elementary School at 465 Victoria Avenue.
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.
Staff and children from A Place to Grow, the childcare located at St. Angela, are also invited to attend. Children under two will not 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 11 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 13 voluntary testing at Immaculate Conception are F.W. Begley, Giles Campus, Prince Edward, Dougall, E.J. Lajeunesse, St-Edmond, Jean-Noel, Lamothe Cadillac, and Louise-Charron.
Once school locations and dates have been determined for future voluntary testing opportunities families in those communities will be notified by their school board.
