Health and Safety Updates

• Masks- Universal masking for all students and employees regardless of vaccination status while inside. Masks are optional outside. We have been extremely proud of our students’ mask wearing throughout the day.
• Vaccinations  - By late October, all FCPS employees will be required to be vaccinated against COVID-19 or submit to routine negative COVID-19 tests.
• Lunch- We have a new tent on the roof! We will have a rotating schedule of classes that will use the tent starting in the next few days. This will reduce the number of students at cafeteria tables. We also have 50 desks spread around the perimeter of the cafeteria. This allows students a fully distanced space while being close enough to classmates to enjoy lunchtime. 

Check out the FCPS Return to School Health and Safety for more information including contact tracing and quarantining.
