绿巨人视频色版s/guardians/designee will be expected to sign for the test kit and provide the student's name, age and date of birth. Please come to the main entrance and a staff member will retrive your tests.
Please note that students are permitted to come to school even if a parent/guardian/designee hasn't picked up a test kit. Unfortunately, we are unable to send test kits home with students. At this time we are only providing one test kit per student, so if you have picked one up on Sunday at Harriet Gibbons Student Services Center, you are not eligible to receive another kit.
You can only pick up test kits for students who attend Pine Hills. Tests for City School District of Albany siblings in the district must be picked up from their school.
Call (518) 475-6725 to arrange a different time/date to pick up.
