Dear Oswego City School District Community,

I am writing to share information about an upcoming free COVID-19 testing clinic. This clinic is being offered to 140 Oswego County community members (anyone who lives or works in the County) who pre-register. Registration is first come, first served.

This event will take place on next Tuesday, February 16, 2021, from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the Oswego High School parking lot.

What are the specifics on this event?
