PRE-REGISTRATION

Pre-registration helps students and staff prepare for COVID-19 testing. You only have to register one time for all COVID-19 testing types – PCR (lab) and Antigen (rapid) – tests. The same registration is valid for all district testing locations, dates, and times. 

Every student must have their own registration.

STUDENTS PRE-REGISTER FOR COVID-19 TEST

To prevent the spread of COVID-19 and help protect the health and safety of students, staff and those around them, San Juan Unified offers asymptomatic COVID-19 testing for students and employees.  Please note that these testing locations are open only for students and employees, family members may not be tested at this time. All testing is voluntary and there is no cost to the individual being tested. 

Parents or guardians must complete the registration process for students age 13 and under and are strongly encouraged to complete the process for older students as well. Registration is only required once and does not need to be redone for later tests. 

The district is providing both PCR and antigen (rapid) COVID-19 testing for students on the following dates:

• Tuesday, Sept. 14
  • Encina Preparatory High School (1400 Bell St., Sacramento)
  • 2 to 5 p.m.

Students should pre-register with the district's Primary Health account prior to arrival. Registration is only required once, not every visit.

NOTE: The pre-registration link will indicate "testing locations." All locations have limited hours and availability. Students that need to test can come to the locations, dates, and times listed above.

Many healthcare providers are overwhelmed with COVID-19 cases creating a delay for testing appointments. Fortunately, San Juan Unified employees and their families are also eligible to receive free covid-19 testing through Sacramento County's community testing locations. Testing is provided at two sites each day of the week rotating locations throughout the county. The closest locations to San Juan Unified are currently off of I-80 and Greenback/Elkhorn and in Folsom. Testing at these locations is quick, easy and based on experience results are coming back in 12 to 24 hours. A full listing of days, times and appointment links for county testing sites can be found below. You can also view other community testing options available in Sacramento County or Placer County.

New extended hours! All locations close from noon-1p.m., *except where noted below​.

Testing is available through your district-provided medical coverage.

Kaiser Permanente members can complete an e-visit or contact their doctor's office to schedule.

Employees with Western Health Advantage coverage will need to contact their current primary care doctor if they wish to schedule a test through their regular provider.

If you choose to be tested at CVS or Walgreens both insurances will cover the cost which should be billed directly to the company. If you are asked to pay for the test at an alternate provider, you will need to seek reimbursement through the insurance company. 

To be effective and help protect the safety of those around us, health officials recommend students and district employees test once every two weeks. 

Testing locations are available each Tuesday and some Wednesdays while Sacramento County remains in the red tier (or returns to the purple tier) of the state’s COVID-19 risk assessment system. 

No, the registration process only needs to be completed once and pre-registration will save you time at your first test. Click here to pre-register. There are no assigned appointment times - you can be tested between the hours listed for each location.

All testing will be done through a self-administered swab except for young children who will be assisted with the process. Instructions will be provided at the testing site, but you can also watch this video to preview how to administer the test. 

Results are typically sent directly to those tested within 24-48 hours of testing. 

San Juan Unified testing sites provide asymptomatic testing. If your child is experiencing symptoms that could be related to COVID-19, do not attend a district clinic and please consult their healthcare provider.
