Southfield School will continue to partner 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.
By participating in this program, Southfield School will enhance its goal of keeping the school’s community safe, identifying infections early to keep community transmission low, limiting avertible group quarantines, and allowing the continuation of in-person learning, sports, and other activities for students, especially as Omicron cases rise.
