FCPS Health Metrics
Health conditions do not currently support bringing Group 5 (kindergarten) students back to school in person on December 1 as we had hoped. For a group of students to be brought safely into the building, the rate of new COVID cases for our area must remain below 200 per 100,000 residents, and the rate of positivity must remain below 8%. Both metrics must remain this way for 7 consecutive calendar days.
Families can check the daily COVID metrics here
