Greenville County Schools will now accept at-home rapid-test results to allow students and staff to return earlier from quarantine, per DHEC’s recommendation. This will go into effect on Wednesday, January 12. Below are the details on how to submit results from an at-home rapid-test.
Students – At-home rapid-test results for students will be accepted at the school. The steps for submitting the student’s results are as follows:
Follow the District-issued guidance** provided by your school regarding what date the at-home rapid-test can be administered (Per DHEC, the test must be taken on or after Day 4, and this information will be included in the guidance from the school)
Administer the test according to the instructions specific to the at-home rapid-test
Sign and return the DHEC Attestation Form required by DHEC to the school (Schools will communicate to parents specific instructions for how to submit the forms)
**Students must receive District-issued quarantine guidance through the school BEFORE they submit verification of at-home rapid-test results. Schools will not be able to accept at-home rapid-test results if the student guidance has not been issued.
Please note it is the responsibility of the student/employee to obtain the at-home rapid-test. The District and schools will not provide the at-home rapid-tests, but students/employees can still get free PCR tests at the three GCS COVID testing sites.
Attention parents of 5th graders: Greenville County middle schools will be offering curriculum nights beginning this month.
