Covid Testing Available for BMS Students

This information was contained in an email from Superintendent Sue Charochak that you may have received last week. The items that pertain to BMS students are replicated here for your convenience:

Beverly Middle School and Elementary students and staff may participate in Covid-19 testing on Thursdays from 11:00 am - 4:00 pm at the Beverly High School cafeteria. The testing will be administered by Cataldo Ambulance and is voluntary. All BMS and elementary students must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

All people (staff and students) interested in being tested need to sign up for an appointment by using this link. https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=21373514&calendarID=5156171

In the coming weeks, the district plans to expand the pooled testing opportunity to the Middle School. More information on that will be forwarded to you when it is finalized. In the meantime, we will continue to offer our PCR surveillance testing as a mitigation strategy for all students.

All testing information is confidential under HIPAA compliance laws. Positive cases are reported to the Beverly Board of Health.
