Wisconsin Heights School District is using this form to receive your consent to test your child for COVID-19 and to share collected data with relevant authorities.
What is the test?
With your consent, your child will receive a free diagnostic test for the virus that causes COVID-19. Collecting a specimen for testing involves inserting a small swab, similar to a cotton swab, into both nostrils.
How will I find out about the results of the test?
If your child has a specimen collected for testing at school, you will be notified of the test result or informed of how the test result will be received (for example: by phone, text, or email).
What should I do when I receive my child’s test results?
If the test is positive, this means that the virus was detected in your child’s specimen. You will hear from your child’s school or a trained professional about this test. You will be asked to pick up your child and you will be provided information about keeping your child home, following up with your health care provider, and when your child can return to school.
If your child’s test results are negative, this means that the virus was not detected in your child’s specimen at this time. You will be asked to follow the instructions provided by your child’s school following this test result.
YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED PRIOR TO TESTING YOUR CHILD.
