RHISD will now begin offering VOLUNTARY FREE Covid-19 Rapid Testing for our RHISD students. You will get your results in 15 minutes.
Rio Hondo ISD will be implementing a phased-in approach to BinaxNOW rapid COVID-19 testing. Rapid antigen-based testing will potentially give Rio Hondo ISD the ability to quickly identify and isolate positive individuals before they can transmit the virus to others. This will give staff members some peace of mind because they don't have to search for a place to test and wait for test results, it will help reduce the number of absences for individuals waiting on test results, and it will help to fast-track treatment and quarantine for positive individuals and their close contacts. Participation in BinaxNOW rapid COVID-19 testing is strictly voluntary.
