FCPS Student-Athletes Vaccine Requirement
Beginning with WINTER SPORTS TRYOUTS - November 8th
Students who are 16 years of age or older (age as of November 8 for the Winter season) and want to participate in athletics will need to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or have either a medical or religious exemption. Unvaccinated students who are 12-15 years of age must provide a weekly negative COVID-19 test to be eligible to participate in team activities.
Submitting Proof of Vaccination
Starting today, student-athletes can submit their proof of Covid-19 vaccination to their school. Students will need to provide clear documentation via an electronic format to the authorized school personnel. Schools will provide specific details of submitting proof of vaccination information.
CENTREVILLE HIGH SCHOOL - Please submit a copy of your vaccination record to our Head Athletic Trainer, Coree Reuter-McNamara at cmreutermcna@fcps.edu . Please put “Vaccine Status” in the subject line of the email, with the Student ID # in the body of the email.
Religious Exemption
Starting October 4, student athletes (both middle and high school) can submit the Religious Exemption form to their school. The form must be notarized and should be submitted directly to our Head Athletic Trainer, Coree Reuter-McNamara at cmreutermcna@fcps.edu . Please put “Vaccine Status” in the subject line of the email, with the Student ID # in the body of the email. Students who are not receiving the COVID-19 vaccine due to religious reasons will be required to submit a negative COVID-19 test weekly. Please use the Commonwealth of Virginia Certificate of Religious Exemption form.
Medical Exemption
Starting October 4, student-athletes can submit the medical exemption information to their school. They will need to provide documentation of a medical exemption from their physician. Students can do this through a letter from their doctor (on the doctor’s office letterhead) stating the student has a medical condition that prevents them from receiving the Covid-19 Vaccine. Students who are not receiving the COVID-19 vaccine due to documented health or medical reasons will be required to submit a negative COVID-19 test weekly.
Please submit a copy of your medical exemption letter to our Head Athletic Trainer, Coree Reuter-McNamara at cmreutermcna@fcps.edu . Please put “Vaccine Status” in the subject line of the email, with the Student ID # in the body of the email.
Deadline for Medical and Religious Exemptions for Winter Sports Season
The Deadline for submitting medical and religious exemptions for the Winter season is Monday, November 1. The exemption must be received by the November 1 deadline for students to participate in winter tryouts. This will allow enough time for those students with a medical or religious exemption to provide proof of their negative Covid-19 test that week so that they may participate in tryouts. As a reminder all students with a medical or religious exemption for receiving the Covid-19 vaccination must provide proof of a negative Covid-19 test weekly.
Students with a Religious or Medical Exemption and Unvaccinated Students Aged 12-15 (Age as of November 8 for the Winter Season)
Unvaccinated students who are 12-15, or students with a Religious or Medical exemption must provide a negative test weekly to participate in team activities. Currently, FCPS is working on securing a vendor to assist with providing access to weekly testing for athletes. We will share more information as it becomes available.
PLEASE SUBMIT ALL VACCINATION RECORDS AND ANY EXEMPTION PAPERWORK TO cmreutermcna@fcps.edu .
