ON-SITE COVID TESTING

Yes, it is a requirement that staff, students, and visitors are tested before entering RCA.

If you test positive, then unfortunately you will not be able to enter. However, we will look forward to rescheduling you for a future date.

If you have been in quarantine for several days but still test positive, you will not be able to enter either. However, we will reschedule your visit! There are variants of COVID-19, and we cannot risk the safety of our school and guests by assuming someone who tests positive (but has been quarantining) may not have contacted a different strain of the virus.
