Have you registered your children for complimentary COVID-19 testing? In conjunction with the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, Bladen County Schools is providing weekly COVID-19 testing on site at our school.

In order for your student to participate in this free, StrongSchoolsNC COVID-19 testing, you will need to register your student.  

Register your student today with this link: COVID-19 Testing Registration

Keeping Kids Safe

Bladen County Schools strongly recommend all families participate in this free program. COVID-19 variants are spreading throughout the United States and research shows routine testing can reduce the spread of COVID-19 by 50%, especially in large settings such as schools.

How it Works

A parent or guardian must register any minor under 18 years old. You’ll give a one-time consent and HIPAA authorization to share testing results with all necessary parties. All testing information is confidential and results will be available in hours.

Raleigh-based MAKO Medical will administer an anterior nares nasal swab test that is quick and gentle.  (This is NOT the test that tickles the brain!)
