Dear Parents and Guardians, I am excited to share that South Conejos School District is enrolled in Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s free, voluntary, and statewide COVID-19 school testing program for the 2021-22 school year. This is a critical step to keeping our students and teachers healthy and allowing us to continue in-person learning. The safety of our students and educators is our top priority. All students under 18 must obtain parental/guardian consent to participate in this voluntary program. Through Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity (ELC) Reopening Schools award funds, students are eligible to receive an incentive, regardless of their current vaccination status. A participating student will receive $25 for the first COVID-19 test administered to them through this program. A student can then receive $10 for every subsequent test that is administered each week (at a maximum of one incentive allowed per week). Parents may choose to opt out of the individual student incentives. To enroll your child, please visit the portal . https://trackbynovir.com/register. Printed enrollment forms will also be available to you at the front office. Guadalupe Track Org Code is c0248 Antonito Middle School Track Org Code is c0250 Antonito High School is c0252 Register yourself first, as the parent (head of household), then add your children (members of your household). If you have children in more than one school, please use the appropriate code. The COVID-19 testing program is available to all students and staff, regardless of vaccination status or presence of symptoms. School testing will be implemented with the help of a state contractor. I’ve linked additional materials for your consideration, including: Facts on the program with additional information. FAQ to answer any questions or concerns you may have. For additional questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact: School Nurse at 719-376-7009 or stephanie@southconejos.com or either one of the Covid Coordinators at 719-376-7018 or gvigil@southconejos.com or lsandoval@southconejos.com Thank you for helping keep our kids and teachers safe. Sincerely, Stephanie Kreps South Conejos School District Nurse

NWEA Make-Up Testing will take place Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of this week (January 25-27). Notices will be going home with students that need to do make-ups. Please have your students rested and on-time to school for testing this week. Our first testing session begins at 8:15 each morning in the library.

Free at Home Rapid Covid tests Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have learned how important it is to layer strategies to protect ourselves and our loved ones from COVID-19. Using multiple prevention strategies is especially important to stop contagious variants of COVID-19-- like omicron that is now circulating in Colorado. CDPHE is providing free over-the-counter tests for parents, guardians, and caregivers to administer to school-aged children at-home. The at-home testing program complements other tools in CDPHE’s COVID-19 toolbox, including in-school screening testing, free community testing sites, and other point-of-care testing programs. These programs help ensure Coloradans have access to multiple free COVID-19 testing options. Through ongoing testing, Coloradans can help slow the spread of COVID-19. About the program Colorado is distributing free rapid COVID-19 over-the-counter (OTC) tests directly to resident’s homes. The program uses rapid antigen tests that show results within 15 minutes. This program has been specifically designed to provide parents, guardians, and caregivers some peace of mind by making it easy to test their children and help keep schools open. Can I get free tests if I am not a parent, guardian, or caregiver? Yes. If you are not a parent, guardian, or caregiver, you may also use this program. All Coloradans can sign up for the Rapid At-Home COVID-19 testing program. There currently is unprecedented national demand for rapid tests, and we are proud to be the first state in the nation to provide these tests for free to Coloradans. Because of the increased demand it may take 2 weeks to get your order. How it works Step 1 Order tests, free of charge, to be shipped directly to your home at https://covidathometesting.colorado.gov/ Step 2 You will receive a confirmation email from CDPHE that your order has been placed. You will receive a second email from Amazon with tracking information once your order has shipped. Step 3 When you are ready to test, follow the instructions included in the test kit. Step 4 Once you have your test results, please follow these instructions on how to interpret and report your results.
