COVID Tests Available for Students |
|
Additional rapid-result COVID antigen tests have been ordered and are now available at sites. Tests can be requested at the front office of a student’s school or staff’s primary work location. The newest test that has become available is the BD Veritor nasal swab test. One test kit (containing two tests) may be requested at a time. BD Veritor tests are app enabled and require a smartphone and internet connection. An alternative test option will be supplied to families that do not have access to a smartphone and internet connection.
Students that are not enrolled in St. Louis Park Public schools such as siblings, relatives, children of staff, will need to request a test from their school/school district or leverage other testing resources. More information on community testing options are listed below.
What is the BD Veritor antigen rapid test?
The BD Veritor nasal swab at-home test is a rapid antigen test that can be used by anyone over the age of two. Each kit includes two tests per box. In order to take the test, you are required to download the Scanwell Health App on an iPhone, Samsung Galaxy or Google Pixel smartphone. The app will guide you through the testing process and will take about 20 minutes to complete.
Additional Local Testing Options
· Students, parents/guardians, and families can also use the COVID-19 test at home program to have a FREE test mailed to them.

Gabby Alvarez - 3rd grade teacher at Peter Hobart
|
|
In addition to her role as a third grade educator, Gabby is part of the SLP Math Consulting team, a member of the PH Building and Operations Team (BOLT), and a coach for Girls on the Run. Outside of PH, Gabby is pursuing a degree in social work (all this while being an AMAZING tia!)
When asked about her why?, Gabby shared, “Leadership isn’t always about being the loudest. (FYI: Gabby was a 3 sport varsity captain in HS!) I want our students and families to see a Latina leader and role model. Little (younger) Gabby didn’t have that.
