Proof of full COVID-19 vaccination will also be required for participation in any other activity that requires a physical. This includes dance team and step team, as well as out-of-season practices and workouts. Unvaccinated students 12-15 years of age must provide a negative COVID-19 test weekly to participate in team activities.
Justice High School is now accepting proof of vaccination or qualified exemptions for students.
Proof of vaccination is provided by sending a copy of the student’s vaccination card to our head athletic trainer. Korey Berg at kbberg@fcps.edu . Copies can also be dropped off in the activities offices.
Medical exemptions must be submitted through a letter from the student’s 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 every week. To provide documentation of a medical exemption please send to Korey Berg at kbberg@fcps.edu or drop off in the activities office.
Religious exemptions must be submitted using the Commonwealth of Virginia Certificate of Religious Exemption form and must be notarized. Students who are not receiving the COVID-19 vaccine due to religious reasons will be required to submit a negative COVID-19 test every week. To provide documentation of a medical exemption please send to Korey Berg at kbberg@fcps.edu or drop off in the activities office.
Proof of vaccination or exemption must be submitted by November 1, 2021.
Weekly testing will be required for unvaccinated students 12-15 and those who qualify for medical or religious exemptions. The test will need to be either a rapid test or a PCR test. Home testing using over-the-counter testing products will not be accepted.
For more information about the vaccination requirement for student-athletes, visit the FCPS website.
