By completing this form online, I confirm that I am the parent or guardian of the student(s) listed above, and that I consent to allow testing of my student(s) for COVID-19 by shallow nose swab during the 2020-2021 school year. COVID-19 testing may be offered to students in two circumstances: (1) if my student(s) develop(s) new symptoms of COVID-19 while at school; (2) if my student(s) is exposed to COVID-19 in a school group and the local public health department recommends testing. I understand that I may consent to one or both types of testing. I understand that COVID-19 testing for the student(s) is optional and that I may refuse to give consent, in which case, my student(s) will not be tested. I understand that my student(s) must stay home from school if feeling unwell. I understand that the school is not acting as my student’s healthcare provider, this testing does not replace treatment by my student‘s healthcare provider, and I assume complete and full responsibility to take appropriate action regarding the student’s test results. I understand that it remains my responsibility to seek medical advice, care and treatment for my student(s) from their healthcare provider. I understand that there is a possibility of false negative COVID-19 test results and that my student(s) could still be infected with COVID-19 even if the test result is negative. I also understand that if my student(s) tests positive for COVID-19, the test result will be reported to the local public health authority as required by law. Personal health information will not be released without written consent except when required by law. *
