Message sent to Silver Consolidated Schools student family members on Saturday, Nov. 6, 2021 from Superintendent William Hawkins:We began the program Monday morning. PMG (Premier Medical Group) expedited their setup due to our need. We initially were on the list for 10 days from last Thursday, but due to the Grant County numbers, they moved us up in urgency and got their team here for Central Office and Cliff on Tuesday.

Good afternoon, evening, or morning,

Please flow through the video to get details for details for how the Testing Site here in town will begin on Monday morning at 7. Most importantly, parents this is optional; parents will be the one to bring their child to get tested. If your child is asked to quarantine, this option allows your student to complete a Covid-19 Rapid Antigen test, and with a negative result, continue participating in school, extracurriculars, and ride the bus on days when he or she is not testing. If you choose not to exercise this option, your child can remain on quarantine until the 10 required days are completed. Please watch the video for more details. https://youtu.be/Absq9v87BBU

Thank you, and please be patient as we launch this new program to support our school communities. The first few days will undoubtedly have a few bumps as we smooth out processes to make the setup quick, smooth and easy for both parents and staff.
