Mandatory COVID-19 Testing after Thanksgiving Break
All students will be expected to participate in mandatory testing the week after Thanksgiving Break (Nov. 28鈥揇ec. 2) unless they are within 90 days of a previous infection. Additional reminder(s) for Thanksgiving Break Testing will be provided. We will maintain the class schedule for testing:
- Monday: First-Years Test
- Tuesdays: Sophomores Test
- Wednesday: Juniors Test
- Thursdays: Seniors and Post-Bacs Test
- Friday: Anyone who missed a test
For Thanksgiving, vending machines will remain operational for students to obtain kits up until Wednesday, November 23rd. Students will not be able to submit samples between Wednesday, November 23rd (evening after 5pm) through Saturday, November 26th (evening after 5pm) because the lab will not pick up samples until Monday, November 28th.
Upon your return to campus, you are expected to test once the week of November 28th. It must be done on campus (outside test do not count towards your compliance). If you are unsure about testing and or have concerns, please reach out to Shawnice Ross for guidance.
As always, COVID-19 testing is available Monday through Friday at SHS or the COVID-19 Test Kit Vending Machines 24/6 (test dropped off between Friday after 5pm and Saturday before 5pm will not be valid). For a list of all COVID-19 Vending Machines, .
