COVID-19 WEEKLY UPDATES

If you missed the district COVID-19 weekly newsletter update, please take the time to review it here. Our weekly testing on-site during the school day will start tomorrow, February 22nd with planned weekly testing every Tuesday. Please see the exciting changes below regarding our on-campus volunteers.


UPDATE TO PARENT VOLUNTEERS

The district has updated the protocol for any “unvaccinated volunteers” to participate as volunteers/chaperones if they test weekly (or less frequently if they are just chaperoning a field trip, etc).  Volunteers can test at a district testing site or kiosks for weekly testing and submit weekly results to mcmillin.covid@cvesd.org. It is the responsibility of the volunteer to submit the weekly testing results. Volunteers must continue to wear masks on campus when volunteering and follow previous volunteer guidelines of providing TB test (REQUIRED if volunteering MORE THAN 2 days), Live Scan, and volunteer checklist. You can email moraima.silahua@cvesd.org for updates on your volunteer status.
