Charlottesville City Schools is pleased to partner with the state to offer a free, optional COVID testing program for current students and staff. Participants can sign up for both special one-time events and for weekly in-school testing.  (The same form works for both types of testing.)

Sign Up for Testing

Schedule is posted below but is subject to change. Sign up here (even if you got tested last year or over the summer).

Students will get tested weekly (except at CHS, where students who have signed up can get tested any week they wish). Once signed up, staff can get tested any week they wish.

• Results will usually come back within 24 hours and are reported directly to the Virginia Department of Health and Charlottesville City Schools. Anyone who tests positive will be notified by phone call. After any positive cases are notified, we will send an email communicating negative test results to anyone who registered via this website by Friday (early afternoon) the week before testing. (Anyone who registered just prior to the testing event or who registered on-site should know that “no news is good news.”)

• If you need proof of your negative test, please call 245-2400

• Translators and interpreters are available. Our web site and the sign-up form can be translated with Google. Call or email your school for help. You can also text 434-953-1802.
• Si tiene preguntas acerca de las escuelas de Charlottesville, llame a nuestra línea telefónica en español al 434-245-2548. Un profesor de español le devolverá la llamada.
