COVID-19 rapid antigen test kits will be available for pick up from Monday-Friday (Jan. 3-7) here at Eagle Point Elementary School between the hours of 9 a.m.-2 p.m. and 3-5:30 p.m.
Please use the main entrance (the side facing Western Ave.) and press the call button. We are asking that everyone complete this testing pick up form to expedite the process. Using the form will ensure that the kits are ready and labeled before arrival and assist with social distancing protocols.
Please note that students are permitted to come to school even if a parent/guardian/designee hasn't picked up a test kit. Unfortunately, we are unable to send test kits home with students. At this time we are only providing one test kit per student, so if you have picked one up on Sunday at Harriet Gibbons Student Services Center, you are not eligible to receive another kit.
You can only pick up test kits for students who attend Eagle Point. Tests for City School District of Albany siblings must be picked up from their school.
Please follow these instructions for administering the test at home; these instructions also will be provided with each test kit:
- Please use one test on the morning after the day you pick up the kit. Read the directions included in the test kit completely prior to using the test.
- The test will take a little more than 10 minutes to complete. Please plan accordingly.
- Please note that test results should be read at 10 minutes, and not later than 15 minutes.
- If your child tests positive (+), please do the following:
- Keep your child home from school;
- Take a photo of the positive test and the test kit;
- Report the positive case to the Albany County Department of Health, using this link;
- Notify your child’s school nurse, via email if possible. You can find the email for your school nurse on each school’s web page.
