Rapid Antigen Tests for École Rivière-Rouge families will be available for pick up at the school office on Wednesday from 1pm to 3:30pm and from Thursday onward, between 8:30am and 3:30pm. Each student will be provided with a bag containing supplies for 4 individual tests.
For pick up: Once you have arrived at the parent loop, contact the office at (204) 697-5962. Someone will meet you at the door with your tests.
These tests are intended to be an added measure of security as students return to in-person learning. It is recommended that you test your child(ren) twice a week, as you see fit.
Please note that if your child is experiencing symptoms, they may not attend school, even if they have a negative test result.
If your child(ren)'s test is positive, take them to a PCR test facility near you. Find a location at https://www.gov.mb.ca/covid19/testing/locations.html
