WEEKLY TESTING AT SCHOOL

In partnership with the Louisiana Department of Health, Morris Jeff Community School is offering weekly COVID-19 testing at school at each campus. All families are encouraged to register their student. Weekly testing allows us to minimize class quarantines and stay ahead of the virus’s spread at school.

A parent or legal guardian must register any minor under 18 years old and will be asked to complete a one-time consent and HIPAA authorization form in order for the test results to be shared with the school and district.

Morris Jeff will continue the weekly testing program through the end of the 21-22 year.

Registration is open! 

Testing is voluntary, but highly encouraged to keep our school community safe. The testing performed will be non-invasive anterior nasal PCR testing.

Morris Jeff tests weekly per the school’s dedicated schedule.

  • Tuesdays, Middle School, 2733 Esplanade
  • Wednesdays, High School, 1301 N. Derbigny
  • Wednesdays, Elementary School, 211 S. Lopez

Test results are delivered to families by text or email within 24 hours and the Omega Diagnostics team will follow up with the parent directly if your child has a positive result. 

Registration for the incentive program has closed. All students and staff who signed up incentives will receive the following: $25 for the first test and $10 for each subsequent weekly test. Incentives are electronically delivered to families each month.
