Pool-Testing will begin Sept. 23 & 24 in RSU 10 Schools
There seems to be some confusion over the use of Pool-Testing.
1) Anyone and Everyone can and should sign up – WHY?
2) It allows the person NOT to quarantine – even in a positive “Pool” group - if individually testing negative – Regardless…
a. Regardless if vaccinated
b. Regardless if a close contact in the classroom, playground, lunchroom, bus, sports team, etc.
c. Regardless if you were in a close group with a positive case
3) It is a simple cotton swab (self-administered) in the nose – once per week.
4) If group comes back positive – individual confidential test with school nurse.
PLEASE – return the consent forms https://5il.co/xr29 and https://5il.co/xr28 to participate.
Contact your school nurse or check out this https://www.maine.gov/doe/sites/maine.gov.doe/files/inline-files/School%20Testing%20FAQ%208.23.21%20FINAL.pdf

This notification is to let parents and families know that based on the specifics of a positive COVID case, you may or may not receive a personal phone call or message regarding your child. We will be using our automated system to notify parents. This will help notify the necessary individuals in a timely and efficient manner. You will continue to receive written documentation from the school.

Please join us to reduce quarantining and sign up for Pool Testing today.
As soon as we have at least five(5) people/students consenting for pool testing participation in any classroom or grouping we will be able to begin Pool Testing for that group and those participating would ONLY be required to quarantine IF they test positive themselves. This includes those ALREADY vaccinated. Please consult your School Nurse with additional questions.
Below are the two (2) consent forms that must be completed for participating in Pool Testing
https://5il.co/xr29
https://5il.co/xr28
You can also get a hard copy of these forms in any school office.
