Learn to Return

COVID-19 Information

ESD 123 is proud to partner with Washington's ESDs and 150 school districts to provide regional COVID-19 screening and testing through the state's Learn to Return program. Through Learn to Return, school-based COVID-19 testing is being offered to minimize transmission of the disease and maximize time for student learning and engagement.

For School Districts:

ESD 123's Learn to Return program can supply K-12 school districts with testing supplies and support for developing testing programs and Labor Support Fund. Health Commons is partnering with Washington's ESDs to support districts with COVID testing and funding. Districts interested in enrolling in the program or learning more should visit learntoreturn.org/enroll.

For ESD 123 Employees:

• Any ESD employee and/or household member who is showing symptoms or has been in close contact with anyone who has tested positive for COVID-19 is eligible for a test. Rapid COVID-19 tests are available for ESD 123 staff on site at the ESD Court Street campus in Pasco. Contact Angela Fry at [email protected].
