“The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.” ― Isaac Asimov

Moving Forward Wisely Using Science

Green Dot Public Schools TN has and will continue to rely on science to guide us through the COVID-19 crisis. Because of the ongoing advances in scientific research and discovery, we will work to provide every resource at our disposal to combat positive cases amongst our employees and our students. We will continue to require masks as a means of lowering transmission rates. We partner with healthcare providers to all provide prevention measures available to us. 

Beginning Oct. 5, 2021, all GDPST schools will offer COVID-19 testing to students and staff on a bi-weekly basis through partnership with Poplar Healthcare. Testing is not required but strongly recommended. There is not cost for those receiving this additional benefit.

We believe that a schedule of regular testing, along with masking and vaccines, will promote safe and effective learning environments. All eligible participants will receive a link for consent to testing. Unfortunately, we are not able to offer testing to parents and community members.
We will also continue our regularly scheduled COVID-19 vaccines. Since beginning our vaccination program in June 2021, we have vaccinated over 400 individuals. Thanks to Dr. Ted Lyons and ShotRx, we have not only vaccinated hundreds, but also educated over 1500 students, staff, parents and stakeholders about the COVID-19 vaccines.
Straight to State, No Quarantine
