Mason Crest Weekly Updates

Dear Families,

  As we close out this school year, we need your help getting all of our library books returned. As a reminder, we do not charge any late fees for books, but we will ask for families to pay the replacement cost for any lost or damaged books.  Sometimes we can make other arrangements such as providing a similar book to the library.  If your child has an overdue book on their account, please be sure to email Ms. Lingler, alinger@fcps.edu to make arrangements before any books or money are sent in. In the coming weeks, Ms. Lingler will send home electronic and paper notices so that parents can be aware of any overdue materials and begin to make arrangements. 

   Thank you for all your support of the library, and your help with getting materials returned so we can be ready for next year!

Sincerely,

Mr. Aiello, Mr. Pratt, and Ms. Shin

Kids

Keep Us Healthy & Safe

We are aware that FCPS has seen a recent increase in COVID-19 cases and outbreaks and nervousness in our community as our County has transitioned out of the low community level into a medium COVID-19 community level. We want you to know that we are doing everything we can to keep our schools open and safe for all students to learn.

However, there are many things each of us can choose to do to help keep ourselves, our students, and our colleagues safe and healthy. 

Stay Home When Sick and Get Tested

This time of year sniffles and fatigue may be allergies, or they may be COVID-19. That is why it is always best practice to stay home if you are sick or having symptoms and get tested as soon as possible. Staying home when you are sick or having symptoms such as a cough, runny nose/congestion, diarrhea, fatigue, or fever is the best thing you can do to help stop the spread of any virus, especially COVID-19.

Get Vaccinated or Boosted

Vaccination is the best protection we have against severe illness. Everyone is encouraged to stay up to date with vaccinations and boosters. If you need more information about COVID-19 vaccinations or where to get the dose you need, visit the Fairfax County Health Department website.
