Dear McGraw Families,

We have been working diligently to develop a COVID-19 plan that helps ensure a safe environment for our students and teachers. We have recently partnered with Quadrant Biosciences and SUNY Upstate Medical University to incorporate their Clarifi COVID-19 testing program. The Test, The Clarifi COVID-19 test,  is currently the most sensitive saliva test on the market, and has been administered over 2 million times to college and K-12 students in New York State. You will also be pleased to know that the Clarifi COVID-19 test involves a very simple and painless saliva swab that the student can easily self-administer.

The Testing Procedure Testing will take place weekly at each of our schools on Thursday mornings.  To participate in the testing program, you must first create student profiles at: app.Clarifi-COVID-19.com. (Note: You can register multiple student profiles under each account). Once all samples have been collected for the day, we will send them off to Quadrant’s lab to be analyzed. Results will be returned within 24-48 hours and will be available for you to view by logging back into app.Clarifi-COVID-19.com.

We hope you will consider having your child participate in this important testing program at McGraw Central School. The health and safety of our students, staff, and community is our highest priority, and we greatly appreciate your support during these challenging times. Thank you!

Sincerely,

Melinda McCool
Superintendent
