• COVID-19 Testing

  To better keep our students and staff healthy and safe, the school has partnered with UAB to offer free and voluntary asymptomatic COVID-19 testing.  This program is fully funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Federal Funds.

  General Information:

  • Testing is available to all current students and staff at Joseph S. Bruno Montessori Academy.
  • Testing will be weekly on Tuesdays starting at 9:00 AM.
  • Our first tests will be offered on Tuesday, November 2, 2021.
  • Teachers will escort students to the testing room (located in the Lower Elementary building across from the front office).
  • Samples will be collected and processed by Luxor Scientific.
  • Testing will be performed in less than a minute with a front of the nose swab.
  • A PCR test will be used to generate a result.  This is not a rapid test.
  • Both the school and parents will receive notification of the test results within 24 hours.
  • In the event of a positive result, the school will follow the advice of local health experts.
  • Paper consent forms are being sent home today with your child(ren).

  **This testing program is for individuals who are asymptomatic.  If you are experiencing any illness related symptoms, please do not come to school and seek medical advice.**

  How do I sign up?

  • Participation in the program is completely voluntary and requires parent consent.
  • You can join or opt out at any point.
  • You can either use a paper form or the links below to sign up and give consent.
  • You will only need to submit one consent form to sign up for weekly testing.  Once submitted, you will not need to submit additional forms each week.
  • If the required consent forms are not submitted on time, your child(ren) will not be eligible to participate in testing for that day.  They will have to wait until the next testing date to participate.

  All consent forms, electronic or paper, must be received by the school no later than 4:00 PM on the Monday prior to testing.  No exceptions will be made.
