Hospitality Committee Thank You |
|
THANK YOU for your generous support of the teacher's breakfast on Wednesday! They were so excited to have fresh-cut fruit and bananas, sausage balls, coffee & all the fixing, yogurts, and especially buttered biscuits and chicken biscuits from Chick-fil-A North Decatur. Everyone was super happy to have a warm welcome back to the building. All were very sad not to have your students in the classroom, but they all seemed to be in great spirits. As always, thank you for helping your PTO support our teachers and staff at DHHS!!

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. Following recommended guidance will also reduce further exposure. The current safety measures in place, combined with testing for staff and students, will lower the risk of transmission and allow more consistent access to in-person instruction for our students.
What is the test?
The testing is a nasal swab test (a short swab no longer than a typical Q-Tip) and takes only a few seconds to collect. The testing will be conducted by an approved testing provider through the Georgia Department of Public Health.
The Free Testing Program is available to all students, even if they are fully vaccinated.
