Weekly COVID Testing by LabQ
Beginning with the week of Jan. 18th, we will be offering saliva based tests for anybody that is interested. Family of students may also sign up for a test. Please sign up by noon Wednesdays of the week of the test. Labeled kits will be delivered to the classroom for students. Kits for those signing up as family will be available outside the main office starting Thursday mornings. The saliva samples need to be filled before school on Fridays and labeled specimens should be dropped off by parents at their child's respective entrance Friday mornings. Results are expected back on Saturdays and will be sent to the account you logged in with to fill this form. Please check that account for results.
Please follow these instructions to fill the sample vials. You will also find these instructions in the kit. Step 5 of the procedure is to place the enclosed, preprinted label with your last name, first name and DOB on the vial, without covering the barcode and then placing the vial in the zip lock bag to bring it to school.
Please note that the school has not been and is not the provider for this test. GISNY is merely facilitating the contact between you and LabQ Diagnostics as a courtesy and in another effort to help keep the school safer and the numbers down. Please consult the website of the lab with any questions or contact the lab directly. Please remember that they may have very high processing volumes at the moment and may not be able to respond in a timely fashion.
