March 15, 2022: COVID Test Kit Distribution on Thursday and Friday

In an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, CVESD has provided a test kit to distribute to families, for each enrolled student.

As we gear up for the start of school on April 4, 2022. CVESD encourages all families to access at-home COVID-19 testing for their children before returning to school after spring break. To help make this a reality, CVESD is providing one rapid test kit for each TK–6 student.

The Chula Vista Elementary School District (CVESD) will be distributing the tests to students on Thursday and Friday of this week. Parents and adult family members may pick up their test kit on Thursday or Friday. Test kit distribution will take place from 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. in the assigned zones below. Instructions are available by video and as an insert in the box.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBt_H4Gc-rU

While there is no statewide testing mandate for students returning to school, CVESD highly encourages you to use the kits to test your children for COVID-19 before they return from break to help keep in-person school safe for everyone.

Should your child(ren) test positive, keep them home from school, contact our attendance office at (619) 656-6252 x 550110 and enter the positive here: https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=DG566I7Aska7c0XdByuqM0K_8Per_7JKkxowwqN4od1UMTZCRVNPQlE0TFRGNzU5TVM3TUI2TzA4MC4u

If the results of your child’s at-home test are unclear, please retest at CVESD’s Education Services and Support Center (hours available online at cvesd.org) or at a local testing site. If you are unable to get a COVID-19 test from your healthcare provider, testing is available at several locations across the county.

In addition, if your child(ren) has/have symptoms (like cough and/or fever) or have been in contact with someone with COVID-19, please keep them home and use your test to see if they have COVID-19.  In this case, please call us before they return to school – even if the test is negative. More testing may be needed.

And of course, if your child is feeling well, tests negative, and has no COVID-19 symptoms, we will look forward to welcoming them back to campus.

While there is no statewide testing mandate for students returning to school, we highly encourage you to use the kits to test your child(ren) for COVID-19 before returning from Spring Break on April 4, 2022.
