CPSD COVID-19 Testing Center
Clover Park School District has partnered with Health Commons and CIC Health to operate the CPSD COVID-19 testing center for staff and students due to COVID-19 illnesses and exposures. The testing center is located at the Harry E. Lang Stadium, 6015 111th St. SW, Lakewood, WA 98499. The testing center is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. The testing center will be closed on holidays. You can follow this link CIC Health Testing Clinic to register to get your child tested.
Parents/family members must accompany students to the testing center to complete permission forms. After students are registered, CIC Health staff will administer the nose swab and complete the testing process. Students and families do not need to wait at the testing site for results. Results will be sent electronically to the individuals who have registered and tested.
Parents should share the test results with their child's school for them to be cleared to return to school by submitting a confidential report form through Skyward.
If a student is in isolation after testing positive and the family decides not to test their student on or after the 5th day, the student must isolate for 10 full days from the symptom onset date or the positive test collection date if asymptomatic.
Parents: It is important to notify your child’s school if your child is sick and/or tested positive for COVID-19 by submitting a confidential report form through Skyward.
- The report form can be found under the Forms tab.
