COVID Testing and Tracing Program

The Chula Vista Elementary School District is working with COVID-19 testing company Kahala Biosciences to host the CVESD Safe! Testing & Tracing Program. We are excited to invite your student and your family members, on a voluntary basis, to test with us at the following sites from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the following locations:

11/16 Vista Square Elementary
11/17 Silverwing Elementary/CVLCC High School
11/18 Olympic View Elementary
11/19 Muraoka Elementary
11/20 Castle Park Elementary
11/20 Lauderbach Elementary

The CVESD Safe! Testing & Tracing Program will help ensure school communities are safe for students and staff through a series of COVID-19 tests and wellness evaluations. This program is completely voluntary. We see it as a great opportunity to ensure the safety of our students, teachers, and staff—even family members. We cannot safely reopen schools until rates improve in our District boundary areas. Click on the registration link below to schedule an appointment.

Testing involves your choice of Antibody Test (Finger) and/or Viral Test (Shallow Nose Swab), at NO COST to you.

Make sure you bring the following REQUIRED items for each participant on testing day:

Please wear a mask
Government-issued ID or passport
Health Insurance card (if you have health insurance) if you don’t have one, please come anyway

The CVESD Caring Crew and YOU!

We would like to remind our entire community that following the four pillars of health can prevent the spread of COVID-19. As we prepare for the eventual return of some students to campus in phases, our District and school will be enforcing the four core principles (also known as four pillars) for the prevention of COVID-19. These include: 1) Daily Health Screenings, 2) Mask Wearing, 3) Physical Distancing, and 4) Frequent Hand Washing.

Identifying Feelings with the Zones of Regulation

The Zones of Regulation is fun and innovative way to identify our feelings and current state, and then match that to self-regulation skills. Interested in learning more? Check out our Zones Virtual Classroom by clicking here.

Computer Devices & WIFI to Loan Families

We recommend each student have their own laptop with a camera and microphone for Distance Learning. Some tablets have compatibility issues with the Microsoft Teams platform and online learning programs.

If your child needs a device or wifi hotspot, please complete and submit this form below, so we can plan and prepare the devices for distribution. If you do not need a device or hotspot, please do not fill out this form. Please fill out a form for each child who needs a device. Do not fill out for a child who previously received a device. We will notify you when you device and/or WIFI hotspot are ready.
