Parents wishing their child to have this option must log into their PowerSchool account to complete the consent survey. You can find the survey in your parent PowerSchool account under BinaxNOW Testing Survey. If you need help accessing your PowerSchool account please contact Beth Schuck (bschuck@d94.org) or for Spanish Janette Hernandez (jhernandez@d94.org)

We need everyone's help to keep all our Wildcat Staff and Students safe and healthy.
