Dear Port Chester Families,

Students, faculty, and staff will be randomly tested for COVID-19 again this year as part of our efforts to keep our children safe, healthy, and in school. The test will be a non-invasive, PCR saliva test, instead of a nasal swab. Last year the testing was conducted by our school nurses, this year the Westchester County Department of Health is running programs in public schools, at no cost to the district. The plan is to test every student and employee who volunteers first, and then test twenty percent of our district population each week thereafter. Given the highly contagious Delta variant, we are hopeful that all parents will choose to have their children take advantage of this program, regardless of vaccination status.

Please read and complete the form on the following link for each student in your household as soon as possible:

Consent For PCR Saliva Testing Westchester County Schools COVID-19 Screening Testing Program

This is a County program; therefore, you must fill out all forms, even if you already provided consent for last year’s testing. Unfortunately, some of the information you must complete is redundant, but it is required by the County.

The first gateway testing day will be Thursday, Sept. 30, 2021.

Your child will not be tested unless you have provided authorization.

Thank you for your participation and cooperation.

Estimadas familias de Port Chester,

Los estudiantes, los maestros y el personal escolar serán evaluados al azar para detectar COVID-19 nuevamente este año — como parte de nuestros esfuerzos para mantener a nuestros niños seguros, saludables y en la escuela. La prueba será una prueba de saliva por PCR no invasiva, en lugar de un hisopo nasal. El año pasado el examen fue realizado por nuestras enfermeras escolares; este año el Departamento de Salud del Condado de Westchester está a cargo de este programa en las escuelas públicas, sin costo para el distrito. El plan es evaluar primero a cada estudiante y empleado que sea voluntario, y luego evaluar al veinte por ciento de la población de nuestro distrito cada semana subsecuente. Dada la variante Delta altamente contagiosa, tenemos la esperanza de que todos los padres elijan que sus hijos aprovechen este programa, independientemente del estado de vacunación.

Lea y complete el siguiente formulario para cada estudiante en su hogar lo antes posible:

Consentimiento para el programa de exámenes de detección de COVID-19 por saliva/PCR de las escuelas del condado de Westchester

Este es un programa del condado, por lo tanto, debe completar todos los formularios, incluso si ya dio su consentimiento para las pruebas del año pasado. Lamentablemente, parte de la información que debe completar es redundante, pero el condado la requiere.

El primer día de los exámenes será el jueves 30 de septiembre del 2021.

A su hijo no se le hará la prueba a menos que usted haya dado su autorización.

Gracias por su participación y cooperación.
