COVID-19 Information 2021-2022

WEEKLY TESTING PLAN for January 10 through February 28, 2022  

Highland Hall will be requiring weekly testing during this 8-week period.  To support that, school staff will be administering rapid antigen testing for all students, pre-K through grade 12 as well as faculty and staff, Monday morning at the Treehouse.  Testing will happen intermittently during the morning.

Please note that Mondays will be regular school days following our regular schedule, with the exception of Monday, January 17, which is a holiday.  Testing will occur on Tuesday, January 18 that week.

If your student has not yet tested on campus, please sign up for testing:  https://my.primary.health/l/highland_hall_waldorf_school

Alternatively, you may submit a negative PCR test collected on Saturday or Sunday.  Please note, many labs are slow to produce results right now.  We recommend taking a test on Saturday morning to increase the likelihood that you have the results on Monday. Please submit student results here by Sunday at 5 pm in order to be exempt from Monday on-campus testing:  Covid Test Results form (Students) (jotform.com) 

Testing for ECC students under the age of 4 1/2

  • ECC students under the age of 4 1/2 need to be escorted by a Parent for on-campus testing. This testing is at 7:30 am on Monday mornings at the Treehouse.  Alternatively, you may submit a negative PCR test collected on Saturday or Sunday.  (See below for testing locations) 
  • If this is routine weekly testing, you may drop off your child after testing. You do not need to wait for the test results.
  • If this is testing due to symptoms, exposure or a positive test result, or after returning from an extended break, you will need to wait with your child until you have received a confirmed negative test result.  Please plan to bring something to occupy your child while you wait. This is not a time to play with friends. After receiving a negative test, please escort your child to the ECC to be welcomed by their teacher. 

 

Testing for ECC student older than age 4 ½ and all in Grades 1-12 

  • Teachers will be bringing their classes for testing, with priority given to our youngest students first.  Alternatively, you may submit a negative PCR test collected on Saturday or Sunday. (See below for testing locations) 
  • Parents who want to accompany their child for testing on campus must come for testing at 7:30 am on Monday at the Treehouse.   
  • Parents who prefer to have their child come for testing with their class must sign our consent form.
