Dear Avon Families,

On 12/10/21, we were notified of a positive 5th grade student.
Please continue to monitor symptoms closely and have students stay home when sick.
ACS Diagnostic COVID Testing-
As a reminder, testing is available as a diagnostic/response test. If you or your child would like a rapid shallow nasal-swab diagnostic COVID test, please send an email to covid.testing@avoncsd.org. You will then receive a Google form to choose a time to be tested along with the consent form and intake form that will need to be completed prior to the test. If you have any questions please contact Michelle Burke at mburke@avoncsd.org.
Test results take approximately 15 minutes, and you will be notified in the event of a positive result only.
Testing Available at Local Walgreens-

The Mt. Morris School District has also been testing many individuals. They respectfully request that going forward, individuals utilize Walgreens, their local school district, or other community service providers for testing.
