Happy New Year Mason Crest Community!
We hope that everyone is well and had a wonderful Winter Break. As we welcome in 2021, we want to remind you of a few instructional updates. All instruction will be virtual for this upcoming week, January 4-January 8. There will be NO in-person learning. Also, there will be Asynchronous Instruction for all students tomorrow, January 4 and next Monday, January 11. (Teachers will provide assignments for students to complete from home)
Our bell schedule will change beginning Tuesday, January 12. Mason Crest’s new bell schedule will be 9:45 a.m.- 4:15 p.m. A detailed look at the NEW instructional schedule can be accessed at this LINK.
Additionally, for students learning at the building, the doors will open at 9:30 a.m. and the Main Office will be open from 8:15 a.m.- 4:45 p.m. daily.
We are here to help and support you and your child as we adjust to these changes. We are so thankful for your continued flexibility and partnership and are so proud of the work our students are doing this year.
This is a reminder that a Parental Guardian Health Screening Commitment Form will be needed for every child to return to school in-person. If you have not done so already this year, please complete this form and return it to Mason Crest as soon as possible. https://www.fcps.edu/return-school/student-health-and-safety-guidance-document#parents
For more information and guidance regarding FCPS’ plan to Return to School, FCPS has created a Family Guide for Return to School that can be accessed on the FCPS website.
