    February 4, 2022

    The following process is intended for students and staff who have signed up for the at home COVID test protocol. Following the newest guidance, Diman Regional will no longer run Test & Stay. Additionally, Diman Regional will no longer contact trace issues related to COVID 19. In place of these, Diman Regional will now conduct at home testing for students and staff who sign up for the program.

    Diman Regional will also utilize symptomatic testing for individuals who become sick while on campus. Diman Regional will partner with a third party provided who will test symptomatic individuals. Only individuals who have completed the consent forms will be allowed to test.

    Student Test Kit Distribution

    On student test kit distribution days, test kits will be delivered to each shop with a roster of who signed up. Educators should mark which students received and did not receive a test kit upon distribution.

    2:20 p.m.: Students in shop

    • Students who signed up for the at-home test kit: Educators will distribute test kits to students who have signed up. Students will then exit the building to the bus, ride, or car.
    • Students who did not sign up for the at-home test kit: Students are dismissed and will exit the building to the bus, their ride, or their car.

    2:25 p.m.: Students in academics

    • Students who signed up for the at-home test kit: Students who signed up for an at-home test kit will proceed to their shop and find their shop teacher. Educators will distribute test kits to students who have signed up. Students will then exit the building to the bus, ride, or car.
    • Students who did not sign up for the at-home test kit: Students are dismissed and will exit the building to the bus, their ride, or their car.

    After the distribution commences, department heads should bring rosters and remaining tests to administration.

    Staff Test Kit Distribution

    All staff who have consented to at-home test kits should retrieve their kits on the assigned days from the District Office. Please see Colette Degagne upon entering the district office.
