High School Student-athletes do not need to pre-register with the LTS online portal for screening testing, they will use a separate portal provided by their school's Student Activities Director. There will be no student COVID-19 screening testing the week of November 22 due to Thanksgiving break. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends school-based testing to limit the spread of COVID-19 and to keep school open safely. Screening testing is used to identify unvaccinated people with COVID-19 who are asymptomatic and do not have known, suspected, or reported exposure to COVID-19.
