New COVID Testing Appointment System: Mills High School

Hello Vikings,

Thank you for all your feedback and participation in our COVID testing system at Mills this semester. Based on what we’ve seen and heard, we’re going to be making a change to the process that we think will reduce waiting time, time out of class, and stress as well.

Starting Friday January 21, you will need to make an appointment for a COVID test through You Can Book Me, the same scheduling website we have used for the past two years for obtaining supplies and books during the pandemic.

To get a COVID Testing appointment:

Go to https://millshigh.youcanbook.me/
Select the type of appointment you need. There are four COVID appointment types:
COVID Testing for Athletics - this is for if you are participating in a sport and need to test before a competition. Book your appointment at the time your coach tells you to, and make your appointment AS SOON AS YOU GET YOUR ASSIGNED TIME FROM YOUR COACH.
COVID Testing for Returning to Campus - this is for if you have been isolating or quarantining after a positive test or experienced symptoms and need a test to shorten your isolation period. Do not come to school for a test if you are symptomatic - stay home until your symptoms have cleared up. Sign up for the earliest appointment available and do not attend class until you have been tested.
COVID Testing Drop In - this is for if you have been exposed or attended an event that had poor safety practices and you are concerned about your COVID status. These appointments should be made during times when you do not have class if possible, and NOT BEFORE 9AM. If no test is available at the time or day you wish, please check community testing options or schedule a test for the next day.
COVID Testing Weekly - this is for if you need to test regularly due to not being fully vaccinated or for other reasons that a health aide told you to test regularly for. These appointments should be made only during times when you do not have class unless no other options are available.
Complete the booking form on https://millshigh.youcanbook.me/ and make sure you get a confirmation email. BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS - it’s @stu.smuhsd.org, not smushd or smushed!
On the day of your test:
If you are testing during a class period, show your confirmation email to your teacher when you arrive so they know what time your appointment is. It should look like the example —> Example of a confirmation booking email from YouCanBookMe
Your confirmation email is your pass to the faculty lounge.
When you get to the faculty lounge, be sure to scan in on Teachmore at the door - this is the proof that you went where you said you would!
Once your test is complete and you have your results:

Negative for COVID: get a blue pass back to class from the adult at the check-in station
Positive for COVID: see Ms. Durham immediately for further information about what to do next.

Thanks! If you have any questions please reach out to Ms. Schlax
