COVID-19 Screening Testing
Optional COVID-19 screening testing will begin the week of November 15 for students who are not fully vaccinated. FCPS is partnering with LongView International Technology Solutions, Inc. (LTS) to provide testing services for students.
Optional screening testing for Fort Belvoir Primary School students will take place on Thursday mornings at our location. Staff at our school will work with all students to ensure they are scheduled to access COVID testing during the timeframe LTS is scheduled to be at our school.
One-time parent/legal guardian consent is required to begin COVID screening testing for a student to be tested at school. You may withdraw your consent for testing at any time. If you want your child to begin participating in COVID-19 screening testing, you must pre-register your child(ren) and provide consent using the LTS secure online portal. If you do not want your child to participate in COVID-19 screening testing, no action is required. You will have the option each week to update your child’s vaccination and consent for testing.
For all the details about optional COVID-19 screening testing, visit the FCPS website and review the FCPS COVID-19 Screening Testing Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document.
If you have questions about how testing will be conducted here at Fort Belvoir Primary School, please contact Solibel Rose at scrose@fcps.edu.
Screening testing is a recommended layered prevention strategy that keeps Fort Belvoir Primary School safe for in-person learning. Thank you for considering enrolling your child.
