Consent for Student Rapid COVID-19 Testing
The Watervliet City School District (the “District”) is seeking your consent to test your child for COVID-19. If you consent, your child may receive a free surveillance test for the COVID-19 virus that will be administered by a certified or licensed medical provider (RN). A surveilance COVID-19 test will be used, which will involve inserting a small swab, similar to a Q-Tip, into the front of the nose or using a saliva swab. We will notify you 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 Department of Health criteria to return to school. Please contact your child’s doctor immediately to review the test results should your child test positive for COVID-19.
