Sign Up for COVID Testing COVID Testing is Every Tuesday | Sign up Here CPS has partnered with Thermo Fisher to offer free, regular testing to students and staff for COVID-19. Regular testing means that testing is offered to everyone on a weekly basis, even if they don’t have symptoms of COVID-19. Each Tuesday, registered students can participate in weekly COVID-19 Testing. Please access the CPS COVID FAQs for any questions regarding the testing process. Students only need to be registered once. Since we are above 10% as a school, students will remain on the list on a weekly basis. If your child has tested positive for COVID-19, per CDC Guidelines, the child should wait 90 days prior to testing again.
