The Fairport CSD has obtained several “Point of Care” PCR systems that can provide families with COVID results in 30 minutes. This test will give families the needed results to return to school after students are sent home for a COVID symptom. Our hope is that this opportunity for free and fast PCR testing offers another option for families to get students back to school quickly. The clinic began on November 1.

Where: Minerva DeLand, 140 Hurlburt Road; Nurse’s Offices
When: Mondays & Wednesdays from 4 p.m. – 7 p.m.; Saturdays from 8 a.m. – 11 a.m.

• UPDATE: The District has experienced an overwhelming response to the clinic. Because of this capacity, the clinic may close earlier than the scheduled time. We will post updates on testing capacity each clinic day via ParentSquare.
