Voluntary COVID-19 testing for students and staff from F.J. Brennan Catholic High School, Corpus Christi Middle School, and St. Christopher, St. John Vianney, St. Rose and St. Teresa of Calcutta Catholic Elementary Schools will be held on Saturday, May 15 from 9 am to 3 pm.
The testing location is George P. Vanier Catholic Elementary School at 6200 Edgar Street in Windsor.
This voluntary testing is being made available for students and staff who are not experiencing any COVID 19 symptoms and have not been directed to isolate due to a high risk exposure 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 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 May 15 voluntary testing are École élémentaire catholique Ste-Thérèse, École secondaire catholique L’Essor, W.F. Herman Academy, Princess Elizabeth PS, Coronation PS, Dr. David Suzuki PS, Roseville PS, McWilliam PS, John Campbell PS, Hugh Beaton PS, Ford City PS, David Maxwell PS and William Davis PS.
Once school locations and dates have been determined for future voluntary testing opportunities families in those communities will be notified by their school board.
