District asks for help, patience, when test-to-stay resumes on Jan. 20

Ballard County Schools, in conjunction with Wild Health, will continue its free “test-to-stay” program on campus on Thursday, Jan. 20. However, due to an expected high volume of students and staff coming in to test, they are asking for a little assistance. - If you are coming in to test, PLEASE wear a high-quality, well-fitting mask while you stand in line and wait to be tested. Masks only may be removed while test samples are being obtained. - If you have not done so already, please complete the online consent form found here: https://airtable.com/shrq25Nk5yEknbrNB. This will eliminate the need to fill out the form while at the testing site, and streamline the process for everyone.
