Important COVID reminders for LHLS Families
If your child gets tested, please, do not send them to school. Please wait until results are received to send them back.
We do not accept home tests. Home tests would only be accepted if telehealth was used because they would provide written documenation.
- The Licking County Health Department has a form to fill out if you have a positive at-home test. Please follow the link, fill out the information, and forward their letter to the school for a child's postive test: LCHD Home Test Reporting
- The following link provides information on testing sites that work closely with Licking Heights: PHA Lab Services.pdf
An individual can test positive for up to 90 days from initial infection. If you test your child again, we do not re-quarantine them. We also do not require a student to be tested prior to returning to school after their quarantine.
Any questions about homework while quarantined can be communicated directly with the teachers. They are working with virtual instructors that assist them in getting assignments to students who are out.
