Changes to Universal Masking
Beginning Tuesday, March 1st
Jaguar Families,
We are entering a new phase of the pandemic that will bring about changes to our health and safety measures. State law now allows parents/guardians to elect for their children to not wear masks at school starting March 1, regardless of health metrics in our community.
In addition, late Friday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released updated health guidance that included new metrics for determining COVID-19 community levels. Based on this new guidance, Fairfax County’s current COVID-19 community level is low.
Based on these new metrics and CDC guidance, FCPS will now adjust our roll back plan and allow everyone - staff and parents/guardians of FCPS students - to make a choice whether or not they will wear a mask starting Tuesday, March 1.
At FCHS, all students will be treated the same regardless of their masking choice. Students will not be asked to separate based on who is/isn't wearing a mask. Our interactions with all students will be based on the care and respect that is native to FCHS. We know that our students look to us as examples of how to treat each other and how to work through these situations.
I assure you that FCHS will remain a caring and supportive place to learn. As always, please reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns.
Ben Nowak, Principal
