Dear Fort Hamilton Families,
The health and safety of our community members are always our main priority. In addition to vaccination, wearing masks, and being socially distant, there is more testing available starting this week.
If your child is staying home with symptoms of COVID, a parent or guardian can come to our school from 1:30pm to 3pm to pick up a COVID-19 rapid test kit in our school lobby. A test kit is only available for a FHHS student with symptoms.
If your child is in school and begins to feel unwell with covid symptoms, they will go to the nurse to be assessed. The nurse will determine whether your child should go home with a test kit and call you per our Health Office protocol. If they test positive at home, you’ll report the positive case to [email protected].
In-school testing will continue weekly, now with 20% of students tested, those vaccinated and unvaccinated. We encourage you to complete the testing consent form for your child to be tested in school using one of the options below:
- go on NYSCA and provide consent for testing
- print consent form attached here or on link below and return to #137
Student Consent Form for COVID- 19 Testing
As always, please feel free to reach out if you have questions. Thank you for helping keep everyone safe.
