With a spike in positive cases across the country, largely driven by the Delta variant, the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.acpsk12.org\/staff\/mandatory-staff-vaccination-survey-due-monday-8-23-and-staff-webinar\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">School Board adopted a recommendation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at its Aug. 19 Special Called Meeting to require employees to either voluntarily report their completed vaccination status or submit to weekly COVID-19 testing as a proactive approach to health and safety in our schools.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Staff members who are not vaccinated or who did not disclose their vaccination status will need to undergo weekly COVID-19 testing and show documentation of a negative result. This will mean being tested outside of your ACPS worksite. The weekly testing will be carried out in an effort to limit the potential spread of COVID-19 in the workplace and the community. Additional information will be made available as we work through this process and adapt to a continually changing situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Staff are required to submit their negative COVID-10 test result prior to arriving at the ACPS workplace each week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Below are some helpful links:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alexandriava.gov\/health\/info\/default.aspx?id=114730\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where to get COVID-Tested in Alexandria<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alexandriava.gov\/Vaccines\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">COVID-19 Vaccination Clinics in Alexandria<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"alexandria-health-department-v\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"alexandria-health-department-vaccination-clinics\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alexandria Health Department Vaccination Clinics<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9638\" src=\"http:\/\/www.acpsk12.org\/staff\/wp-content\/uploads\/1.12.21.Vaccine-3-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1336\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.acpsk12.org\/staff\/wp-content\/uploads\/1.12.21.Vaccine-3-1.jpg 2000w, http:\/\/www.acpsk12.org\/staff\/wp-content\/uploads\/1.12.21.Vaccine-3-1-260x174.jpg 260w, http:\/\/www.acpsk12.org\/staff\/wp-content\/uploads\/1.12.21.Vaccine-3-1-800x534.jpg 800w, http:\/\/www.acpsk12.org\/staff\/wp-content\/uploads\/1.12.21.Vaccine-3-1-150x100.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.acpsk12.org\/staff\/wp-content\/uploads\/1.12.21.Vaccine-3-1-768x513.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.acpsk12.org\/staff\/wp-content\/uploads\/1.12.21.Vaccine-3-1-1536x1026.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Alexandria Health Department will hold a vaccine clinic at Alexandria City High School (ACHS) on Saturday, Sept. 25:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic at Alexandria City High School, <\/b><b>3330 King St.<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Saturday, Sept. 25, 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Moderna Vaccine (Third Dose Only, Ages 18+):<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/vase.vdh.virginia.gov\/vdhapps\/f?p=535:205:::NO:205:P205_CLINIC_DETAILS_ID:268920749516881178476805559520986856122\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Schedule your appointment<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Pfizer Vaccine (All Doses, Ages 12+):<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/vase.vdh.virginia.gov\/vdhapps\/f?p=535:205:::NO:205:P205_CLINIC_DETAILS_ID:268920749516852164257134808420793907898\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Schedule your appointment<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Walk-ins are welcome for either vaccine.
