Testing Sites

Starting on March 30, BVSD will begin weekly screening testing(saliva sample) at participating BVSD schools.  Ten percent of students at each school will be selected for testing every week. The schedule will be posted on our website here. Screening will be available for all grade levels.

Yes, only those students that have been signed up by their parents will be tested.

If you have already opted into BVSD mobile site testing, there is nothing further you need to do to give your consent, unless you want to opt out of screening, contact legal@covidcheckcolorado.org.

Your child is not automatically signed up. If you were signed up for mobile testing and wish to withdraw your consent, email legal@covidcheckcolorado.org.

If you did not sign up previously for mobile testing and do not want testing, there is nothing further to do.

Opt in to random in-school testing to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 in our schools. What we need from you to opt-in:

1. If you have already opted in to BVSD mobile site testing, there is nothing further you need to do to give your consent for in-school screening testing. If you want to opt out of screening, contact legal@covidcheckcolorado.org.

2. Online opt-in: To opt your student/s in to BVSD in-school screening testing, follow these instructions.

If you gave consent for your child to have mobile testing and wish to remove your consent for future testing for your child at school, email legal@covidcheckcolorado.org.

Yes, the screening testing is free for families.

The screening testing is done by saliva sample. It is a PCR test.

Testing completed with SalivaDirect™should be delivered to individuals within 48 hours and potentially sooner.  

No, opting in for the screening testing is not mandatory; it is opt-in only. We are looking for about 40% of our students to be opted in.

Screening testing will replace the current mobile testing site model. We will still be able to test BVSD individuals that are symptomatic/in quarantine. This testing would take place on days when screening testing is taking place at a site and would be outside of the building so that symptomatic/exposed individuals are not going inside.

We will be testing only 10% of students who have opted-in each week.

Testing can be completed at any of COVIDCheck Colorado’s testing sites, including the BVSD site at Centaurus High School in Lafayette or one of our two mobile sites that will change daily. The hours will be 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The locations will be updated on the calendar above.

Students and families are also welcome to use any other testing site. More testing sites can be located on Boulder County Public Health's website here.

Yes, all the testing at COVIDCheck Colorado sites are free for all.

At Centaurus High School, the test will be completed via nasal PCR test and results will be returned within 36-72 hours. 

At our mobile school sites, testing will be completed with SalivaDirect™.  With SalivaDirect™, saliva samples are self-collected under the supervision of a medical professional and then transported to a local lab, enabling results to be delivered to individuals within 48 hours and potentially sooner.  SalivaDirect™ is an FDA Emergency Use Authorization-approved PCR testing protocol. 

For information about the tests available at other CCC locations, see their website.

Nasal swab test results are expected within 36-72 hours. 

Testing completed with SalivaDirect™should be delivered to individuals within 48 hours and potentially sooner.  

To register for a test at any COVIDCheckColorado site there are two links:

1. Staff and students should register via this link:  https://www.primarybio.com/l/bvsd

See this document for step by step instructions. Registering for mobile sites does not require an appointment, only registration and signing consent on the site. See document for details.

2. Family and community members can register via this link (Centaurus or other permanent sites only):  https://www.primarybio.com/l/cdphe

Appointments are not necessary for mobile sites and you won't see the mobile site locations. Instead you only have to register your student (or yourself if staff) for In School Testing and you can show up at any mobile site. See this document for step by step instructions. Note: Mobile site testing is only available for BVSD students and staff.

Unfortunately, the mobile site testing is only open to BVSD students and staff.

If you haven't registered and you show up at a mobile testing site, staff can walk you through how to register online while there. Parent or guardian must be present if consent hasn't been signed through the online system. (BVSD students and staff only can use mobile testing sites)

If you wish to remove your consent for your student to be tested at school, email legal@covidcheckcolorado.org.
