Hello GCES Family:
Our GCES Covid-19 Testing Program will begin soon. In order for your child to participate in testing, you’ll need to register them for the program.
Click https://home.color.com/covid/sign-up/start?partner=ldh-gra-112-students to register your child for the program.
A parent or guardian must register any minor under 18 years old. You’ll give a one-time consent and HIPAA authorization to share their results with the school and district. Testing is not required, but highly encouraged to keep our school community safe.
We’ll test in the Isolation Room on a day/time that will be announced soon. Results will be delivered to you by text or email within 24 hours and we will follow-up with you directly if your child has a positive result.
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to 225-910-8308 or visit the website at www.k12testing.com.
Participants in the testing program are eligible for an Incentive Plan. Details of the plan are as follows:
Incentive plan administered by Louisiana Department of Health.
