Dear ACDS Families and Staff,

As you read in our July 30 Special Message, ACDS will again be conducting weekly COVID-19 testing for all students and staff. To begin the year, we will hold all-school testing sessions on Thursday, September 2 and Tuesday, September 7 from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. (you need only attend one session.)

Testing is REQUIRED for all students and staff. You may select September 2 OR September 7 in the registration link below. The testing will take place on the ACDS campus and is open to all ACDS families.

Global Virus Pass will facilitate our testing and all forms are online. As such, there will be NO drop-in appointments the day of the testing, and so you MUST REGISTER ONLINE prior to the day of testing. No same-day appointments can be accepted. When you sign up for the before-school testing, please also register for all the school-day testing dates which are on Thursdays from September 9 through October 21. This process may take approximately 15-20 minutes per student/staff member; please complete this by August 30. Thank you!
