We have secured a 3rd party testing source (HYPE) to conduct our weekly Covid testing:
1. All Bryant Middle School athletes will be tested on Tuesdays by a mobile unit provided by HYPE Athletics.
2. The consent form from the State previously filled out will not work for this testing, everyone must complete this new consent form that will be provided at practice by the coaches.
3. Any student that does not test may not participate (practice or contest) until showing proof of a negative Covid test. (They are not required to attend these testing times, but failure to do so will require them to find and attend their own testing site).
4. Tests are required for everyone involved in MS athletics, regardless of age. If a student is playing a MS sport, they will be tested or forfeit their right to participate.
5. All tests will be reported to the State (which ensures our compliance with the mandate). We will also be informed of the positive cases, so we can take appropriate actions on our end.
Thank you to HYPE for partnering with us and ensuring that each building has its own mobile testing clinic. This will eliminate the need for transportation and ensure that every kid has the opportunity to get tested without seeking another source.
