We Encourage You to Consider Signing Up for FREE Weekly COVID-19 Surveillance Testing
The Department of Student Health Services in collaboration with the Georgia Department of Public Health is excited to bring Surveillance Testing to our district! Surveillance testing is a safe, effective way to limit the spread of COVID -19 and continue to keep schools open for in-person learning. COVID-19 testing is not mandatory and is being offered to protect students, staff, family members, and our community. Weekly school-based and district-wide testing will quickly detect, trace, and isolate COVID-19 positive individuals. The Free Testing Program is available to all students, even if they are fully vaccinated.

If you have questions regarding the Surveillance Testing, please contact Mrs. JoAnn Harris, Coordinator of Student Health Services.
COVID-19 Health & Safety
Please IMMEDIATELY call the school at 678-874-6302 if your child tests positive for COVID-19, which will allow the school to initiate its procedures for notifying close contacts. As always, if your child is not feeling well, please keep them at home. DO NOT SEND SICK STUDENTS TO SCHOOL.

Learn more about the District's COVID-19 policies here.
  • All people age 5+ are eligible for free vaccinations -- the single best way to prevent infection, sickness, and hospitalization. Find a vaccine here.
  • Free COVID-19 tests are available at Viral SolutionsWalgreens, and many other places.
