Coronavirus Update
FCPS is working with the Fairfax County Health Department (FCHD) and closely monitoring the health crisis as well as any impact it may have locally. As of March 6, there are no cases of COVID-19 infection in Fairfax County.
We are reinforcing the importance of ensuring students are following proper handwashing procedures before eating and after sneezing, coughing, or using the bathroom. We are reinforcing with our custodial teams the importance of following our standard cleaning protocols by using hospital-grade disinfectants on frequently-touched surfaces such as doorknobs, faucet handles, and handrails. Hand sanitizer is available in all schools and if a student is showing signs of a cold or the flu, they should stay home.
Updated information is being posted to this webpage: FCPS coronavirus-update and additional information is available from the Fairfax County Health Department
Here is a nice reminder on the importance of hand hygiene being the BEST way to prevent the spread of germs and keep from getting sick.
