Yes: Since you are in school, this is recommended, and monitor for fever. Self isolate until the test is negative and you have no symptoms.

COVID concerns: Don't know what country you live in. Surface contamination is a minor mode of transmission. However, if you are in contact with students, I can understand why your school would encourage you to be tested. Different countries/ states have differing policies. determination about COVID 19 testing. USA – policies vary by state. State & local health departments/ providers make actual testing decisions
