ELECTIVE WEEKLY COVID TESTING

The Louisiana Department of Health aims to support Louisiana schools by providing COVID-19 testing options at no cost to any school in the state.

Southfield School has again partnered with LSU Health Shreveport to provide voluntary weekly COVID-19 testing on Friday mornings. Each week a trained healthcare team from LSUHS will visit Southfield to conduct the testing program using a short nasal swab and will send the collected samples to a laboratory for testing using PCR technology.

Parents who have elected to participate will receive their children's results via text or email by the end of the following day. Preschool parents participating in the program are asked to accompany their child to the preschool for COVID testing.

By participating in this program, Southfield School will enhance its goal of keeping the school's community safe and identifying infections early to keep community transmission low. Read more or visit this link for FAQs...

*Families who registered last year will need to register again.
