IMPORTANT COVID19 UPDATE
(Mise à jour importante pour les parents)
COVID19 Testing
Dear Parents,
This is to inform you that all students aged 5 and above will be tested for COVID19 and children aged 4 and below may have parents/guardians or siblings tested on their behalf. This is a requirement before your child returns to class.
This COVID19 prevention measure will enable us to re-open the campus with as clear a picture as possible of the COVID19 status of our wider Discovery family.
We have organised the COVID19 testing to take place at the Discovery campus on Tuesday 23rd February 2021.
We request that you carry out this COVID19 testing according to the following guidelines:
1. All children aged 5 and above must be tested for COVID19. We will organise the testing at school this Tuesday 23rd from 9:00 am to 1 pm.
2. Children aged 4 and below can either be tested personally or 2 members of their household will be tested in their place. The family members must be people they live with and interact with closely, (parents, legal guardians, or siblings).
3. Please remember to bring an identification document for each person who will be tested, to present to the medical personnel.
4. If your child or family member tests positive, you will be informed immediately.
5. Negative results will be shared in batches and may take a few hours to get to you.
When you come to the campus for testing, please be hyper-vigilant with regards to the Covid19 preventative measures. Have your temperature checked on entry, wear a face mask properly, wash/sanitise your hands thoroughly.
Please maintain a safe distance from other Discovery community members when you come for testing.
The tests will be done by Africa Medical Supplier and the cost to you for the COVID19 Rapid Test is 10,000 RWF per test. The amount will be paid directly to the test provider by Mobile Money.
If your child/or family member has a negative test result already, only results from the 19th of February onwards will be considered valid. In this exceptional case, send the results directly to your child‘s teacher and copy the admin team on: info@discoveryrwanda.org or +250781111002. Kindly send the messages by Monday 5pm.
IMPORTANT NOTE
If you, any member of your household or your child have tested positive for Covid19 in the last 14 days it is very important to complete this form, https://cutt.ly/tldTJR8
If any family member tests positive during this term, the family is required to use the form above to inform the school.
We will each contribute to the safety of every Discovery child and their family by completing this form and by being very vigilant at home and at school. We will regularly share the form to track the COVID19 situation within the Discovery community on an on-going basis.
We wish you a good day. We are very much looking forward to safely and carefully reopening our classrooms on Wednesday morning!
