New Vaccination Policy for Student-Athletes
Starting November 8, students who are 16 years or older are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 or have a medical or religious exemption on file in order to participate in Virginia High School League (VHSL) winter and spring sports for the remainder of the 2021-22 school year.
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. Testing will not begin until Monday November 15
Mt. Vernon HS is now accepting proof of vaccination or qualified exemptions for students.
Proof of vaccination is provided by showing the student’s vaccination card to our Certified Athletic Trainer, John Ponton. This can be brought in person to the Student Activties Office, Athletic Training room or emailed to Mr. Ponton at jvponton@fcps.edu.
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: to our Certified Athletic Trainer, John Ponton. This can be brought in person to the Student Activties Office, Athletic Training room or emailed to Mr. Ponton at jvponton@fcps.edu
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 religious exemption: to our Certified Athletic Trainer, John Ponton. This can be brought in person to the Student Activties Office, Athletic Training room or emailed to Mr. Ponton at jvponton@fcps.edu
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. Testing will not begin until November 15 and will not be required the first week of the winter season.
For more information about the vaccination requirement for student-athletes, visit the FCPS website.

Donations
The majority of our athletic budget is funded through ticket sales at our home events. With COVID 19, we have had very limited ticket sales at any of our events since last February. Money that is generated from ticket sales is used to fund each of our sports teams in a variety of ways.
We ask that you consider making a tax deductible donation to our athletic department. The money raised will hopefully supplement some of the money we have lost due to COVID 19. Any amount is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your consideration. Please click here to make a donation
