Dear Fort Belvoir Upper families,
Every week, we will provide an update on our COVID-19 status to keep you informed. If you have any questions about how we are staying safe so we can keep learning in person, please contact me.
We reported 1 positive COVID-19 cases this week.
As of today, no students and staff are learning and teaching remotely while in pause, quarantine, or isolation related to an active case reported by Fort Belvoir Upper School.
Remember, do your part to keep our school safe: Wear your mask, get vaccinated if you are eligible, practice healthy hygiene, and stay home when you are sick.
Thank you,
Principal
Jamey Chianetta
The lost and found is overflowing with many items that students have misplaced. Please stop by the main office when you have time or please have your student/s stop by on their way to class in the mornings to check for any missing items.
All items not retrieved before dismissal on Friday, December 17, will be given to an organization to help children in need and we'd like to make sure you have an opportunity to recover any and all lost items before they are donated.

Please know that we all want our students in the classroom as soon as they are well. Therefore, beginning today, Monday, October 4th, the Return to School form is no longer required, and we will follow these guidelines:
Students may return to school when their symptoms have improved and they have not had a fever without fever-reducing medications for at least 24 hours, AND have at least one of the following:
