The School District is offering COVID testing for students this school year with a parent's signed consent form. If your child is sent home ill, you may request a COVID test from the school insead of going to the doctor's office. When quarantined as a close contact, testing with a negative result can be utilized for returning to school at an earlier date on a modified quarantine. We hope this will be beneficial in keeping students in school as much as possible. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Tammy Kirchoff at the middle school, 573-796-2146 or tammy.kirchoff@californiak12.org.
