Arlington can you please please give parents a heads up re wtf is going on, even if it’s just to say that Monday kids will return to school as normal and there will be other announcements re what to do if you’ve had covid or been in contact with someone who did? Just give us the bare minimum of the plan please, it’s Wednesday already.

I think it is safe to say APS won't be requiring testing ( either is ACPS or Fairfax). They have been tweeting out the testing locations if people want to do it. I guess I am not sure what people are looking for. Except school to open and be business as usual on Monday. Why do we need a plan if nothing has changed.

They already said they are working with the VA dept of health re: the new CDC recs. They can only move as fast as VDH

Thanks. I think I was way off in my expectations and thinking that APS would have some testing plan for everyone in place, that was clearly wrong. I had thought FCPS was doing something like that but you’re totally right, they are not. So back to school as usual, got it, and thanks for setting me straight, doh!

DC is requiring everyone to get tested before they go back to school.

Dc is also providing them with tests. There are no testing appointment available in Arlington before next Monday as it is.

Testing in DCPS is optional, not mandatory. No one is checking to see if kids test.

Wrong. According to the WAMU story, anyway, students who fail to report their test results by Tuesday will not be admitted to school.

DC is REQUIRING the tests. This is the press release from the Mayor.

Glad APS is not doing this. People should only be testing if they have actual symptoms. Antigen tests aren’t accurate for non-symptomatic people.

Regardless, are they testing every child who goes into a bar or restaurant? No.

More discrimination against kids to appease the teachers union and a few extremist COVIDian parents.

BS. I am not an extremist and I wish everyone would be tested. You're the extremist, not us. I wish you would get your childcare together so your kid wouldn't be in school to negatively impact my kid. Everyone else, I'm fine with. People like you who are ignoring the nose on your face ... get outta here.

Everyone will be repeatedly exposed to COVID the rest of their lives. It will be here forever. Are you going to demand this for this flu too? Cold viruses (which actually has the same symptoms as Omnicrom - you’re demanding this nuttiness for a cold)?

Forcing this down kids’ throats at schools, while adults operate freely elsewhere, is demented. It is the government simply adopting the germaphobic rituals of a vocal neurotic minority and only implementing it against children. History will not look kindly on this

Yes… they are starting back to school 2 days late to allow for this.

True. We’ve never tested kids for asymptomatic viruses previously to go to school. Everyone has had the opportunity to get vaccinated and kids under 5 are at much less risk with COVID than RSV.

Forcing down throats = this germaphobic, COVIDian theology. It is a religion for a few extremists here and my kids will not be part of this forced religion

PP seems really unhinged.
It doesn’t seem like the state law prevents test to return. Can someone refresh me on why APS can’t do that?
