North Colonie Consent for COVID Testing
The North Colonie Central School District is seeking your consent to test your child for COVID-19. If you consent, your child may receive a free diagnostic test for the COVID-19 virus that will be administered by one of our district employees.  

A rapid COVID-19 test will be used, which will involve inserting a small swab, similar to a Q-Tip, into the front of the nose.  (We are not using the long-swab test that goes to the back of the nose).  

We will provide a weekly testing schedule so you know in advance if and when students will be tested. We will notify you immediately by phone call if your child tests positive for COVID-19. Any students who test positive will be sent home and must be kept at home until meeting Albany County Health Department criteria to return to school. If your child tests negative, we will send you an email the day of the testing with those results.

Please be advised that the law requires and/or allows some information about your child to be shared with Albany County and New York State Public Health Agencies. This includes notifying the Albany County Health Department about the COVID-19 results of each student who is tested, including the student’s name, date of birth, race, ethnicity, gender, address, phone number, and result of the COVID-19 test.

PARENTS AND GUARDIANS: PLEASE COMPLETE A SEPARATE FORM FOR EACH OF YOUR CHILDREN.
