At-Home Testing

Derry Township School District only accepts at-home/over-the-counter tests for positive COVID test results. Because of the variety of at-home/over-the-counter tests available to families, a copy of the test results (picture/screenshot) must be provided to the school nurse as well as the original packaging of the test(s). The picture/screenshot must include the name of the student and the date the test was administered. As a reminder, the district does not accept at-home/over-the-counter for negative COVID test results.
