COVID Testing Guide & Forms
Latin Testing Guide
Please review this guide regarding Latin’s procedures for both weekly COVID testing for students and staff on campus, as well as symptomatic testing.
DC Health Symptomatic Testing Consent
It is essential that Latin can test students who exhibit COVID symptoms on campus, so we can respond quickly and limit community spread. All students must have a signed permission form on file with Latin for this type of symptomatic testing.
We MUST have a signed consent from for this symptomatic testing by our school nurse for ALL students returning to campus in Q4 for hybrid. Please complete this form and return it to nurse@latinpcs.org.
Weekly Testing with Curative
Getting Started with Curative for On-Campus Testing
If your child has been tested at Latin with Curative, you have already been registered and do not need to do anything more.
If your child has NOT yet been tested at Latin by Curative, please complete the one-time registration process for your child. Registration is all online (computer or phone) and takes 15 minutes or less. The app asks for the following:
- Your child’s information (name, birthdate, address, etc.)
- Parent information (name, address, etc.)
- Health insurance information – Whether you have health insurance or not, we can still provide the weekly COVID testing. If you do have insurance, you will be asked for a picture of your insurance card (so good to have that handy) and/or the group and policy number. NB: the test is fully covered in DC with no copay or deductible for the family. Providing health insurance information allows Curative to be reimbursed (and thus lowers the cost for Latin).
After providing this information, you make an appointment. Select any time – your choice does not really count in this case. Email confirmation will be sent to you.
After this initial registration and provision of information, your child will be in our system, and we will make all future testing appointments. You, as the parent, do not need to go through this process again. We will make appointments weekly for each student participating in Curative testing.
REGISTER for Curative

Don’t forget to have your verification paperwork signed and submitted to Ms. Nunn!

Attendance Policy
Attendance Policy 2020-21
Philosophy – Attendance Matters! Consistent attendance in school plays a vital role in every student’s academic success and contribution to our community. We want all students at school as much as possible, so they can make the most of the educational opportunities offered in middle and high school. Benefits for the students include:
• Better academic results (immediately and over the long-term)
• More positive attitude about school
• Higher self-confidence
• Good habits that serve students throughout their education and beyond

1:1 Technology Program
Latin will provide a Chromebook (think basic laptop) to each enrolled student for the 2020-21 school year.
This is often called a “one-to-one” or “1:1” technology program (1 computer for every student). These Chromebooks are the property of the school but will “live” with our students during both distance learning and when we are back on campus. Here we describe how we will get everyone a Chromebook and answer some questions. READ MORE
Free & Reduced Meals
Uniform Information
Uniform Policy 2021-22
Washington Latin PCS believes that appearance and neatness are important and requires students to meet the highest standards of dress and deportment. We believe parents are our partners in ensuring that students come to school each day well groomed. We require all students to wear uniforms and adhere to the Dress Code at all times while in the school building and at school-sponsored functions.
