Voluntary COVID-19 testing for students and staff from St. Louis Catholic Elementary School and Cardinal Carter Catholic Middle and High Schools will be held on Saturday, March 20 from 9 am to 3 pm.
The testing location is Leamington District Secondary School at 80 Oak Street West.
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 20 voluntary testing are Leamington District Secondary School, Queen Elizabeth Public School, Mt. Carmel-Blytheswood Public School, M.D. Bennie Public School, Gore Hill Public School, École élémentaire catholique St-Michel et École secondaire catholique l’Essor.
Once school locations and dates have been determined for future voluntary testing opportunities families in those communities will be notified by their school board.
