Student and Staff COVID-19 Testing Information
The Watertown Public Schools is offering weekly voluntary student COVID-19 PCR pooled testing.
As
the Watertown Public Schools transitioned students to in-person
learning, protocols such as face coverings, hand washing, social
distancing, and additional cleaning measures are in place to minimize
the risk of COVID-19 transmission among students, teachers, and staff in
school buildings. Student COVID-19 PCR pooled testing is an additional
layer to ensure that our students and staff are safe in our schools as
best we possibly can be.
Student
testing will maximize the longevity of in-person learning by quickly
detecting, tracing, and isolating COVID-19-positive individuals—whether
or not they become symptomatic. And, it will provide families and staff
with peace of mind. The current safety measures in place combined with
testing for staff and students will lower the risk of transmission and
allow more consistent access to in-person instruction for our students.
