While staff have had access to free COVID testing for some time now, we are excited to announce that students are now eligible for free testing as well! 

In partnership with COVIDCheck Colorado (CCC), all students will now be able to take a baseline COVID-19 test before coming back to school, as well as an ongoing COVID-19 student screening test every other week. 

Baseline testing can be completed at any of COVIDCheck Colorado’s testing sites via this link (students and staff must use their DPS ID). Unless you have tested positive in the last 90 days, everyone is encouraged to take a baseline test in the new year. The tests are free, fast, and reliable. See an updated list of testing sites here including at the Montbello campus, Abraham Lincoln Campus, North HS Campus, All-City Stadium, and a new site at George Washington HS. The test will be completed via nasal PCR test or SalivaDirect™, and results will be returned within 36-72 hours.

At any time, your families and students can schedule a test at existing CCC sites. Students and employees should use the district link, while family members can continue to use the community link.

For a quick overview about testing sites and access, you can also share this PSA video with students and families.
