    Q: How can I get my child WITH SYMPTOMS tested at school?

    • Please call our office 504-833-7254 to schedule an appointment. Walk-ins will not be accepted.

    • You or another legal guardian must drive your child to school at the date and time of your appointment. We will NOT test any symptomatic student unless the parent/legal guardian is present.

    • The adult must escort the child to the front door. When you ring the bell, tell the person that answers, you are here for Covid-19 testing.

    • The adult and student should wait in their car after the student is swabbed until results are received. In some cases, the test cancels and the student would need to be tested again.

    • Even if the result is negative, the student must go home for at least 24 hours or until the symptoms are resolved.
