Keeping Students Safe, Schools Open, & Stopping the Spread!

The Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH), in collaboration with the Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE) is offering FREE weekly COVID-19 screening testing in schools.

Why is our school testing for COVID-19?

Regular testing is a safe, effective way to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and help keep our schools open for in-person learning. Many people with COVID-19, especially children and teens, don’t have symptoms but can still spread the virus, so regular testing helps find infections before they can spread to others. This is especially important for children under 12 years old who are not yet able to get vaccinated against COVID-19. Regular testing will help us keep students in the classroom and allow students to take part in the other activities they love.
