Important Saliva Sample Collection Information
- Regardless of the testing schedule for the week, each child should return only one saliva sample to school per week using the tube that is barcoded specifically for that student. Do not have your children use each other's barcoded tubes.
- If your child returns a sample to school on a Monday, the lab processes the sample on Monday. The district receives the barcode information late on Monday night or very early Tuesday morning. If your child's sample indicates that a referral to a CLIA certified lab for an RT-PCR test is necessary, parents will be notified prior to school on Tuesday.
*If you have not received a phone call from the nurse prior to the start of school, you can rest assured that your child's sample did not trigger a referral for an RT-PCR test. The same process would apply for samples returned on Tuesdays or Wednesdays.
