Dear Avon Families,

COVID Updates - There have been no new COVID cases at ACS so far this week. 

  • 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. 

  • Please do not 'walk in' for a test. Tests can be scheduled quickly by reaching out to Michelle Burke as detailed above.  We want to be helpful and responsive, but managing 'walk in' testing was not our intention and distracts from the primary responsibilities of our nurses.  A simple email will get you a test scheduled quickly.

ACS Diagnostic Testing for the holidays - Please email covid.testing@avoncsd.org to schedule an appointment. 

  • This week: Wednesday, 12/22, 8:00 am-3:00 pm; Thursday, 12/23, 8:00 am-2:00 pm

  • Next week, 12/27-31: no testing

  • January 3-7: Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, 8:00 am-3:00 pm 

  • Beginning on Monday, January 3rd, we will welcome a new LPN to the Avon Nursing team for the remainder of the year. She will manage the bulk of our COVID testing, both screening and diagnostic.    

Testing Available at Local Walgreens -

  • https://www.walgreens.com/findcare/covid19/testing?ban=covid_vanity_testing

  • Using the link above, you can enter your zip code to find testing locations near you. Several local sites have free rapid NAAT Tests and/or lab PCR tests. Testing is offered 7 days a week, and many locations have appointments readily available. 

  • 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.
