INCREASE IN COVID CASES

FCPS has seen an increase in COVID-19 cases recently, especially at the elementary level, as the county has transitioned to the medium community level. Schools continue to apply layered prevention strategies to maintain a healthy work and learning environment. However, each of us has a responsibility to do our part to help keep our students safe. As we enter the final weeks of the school year, we must stay vigilant so we can all enjoy the events and milestones ahead and be ready for a relaxing and healthy summer.

Easy ways to “Do Your Part” include: staying up to date on vaccinations and boosters, considering when and where to choose to mask up, practicing good hygiene, and monitoring symptoms daily. 

It is increasingly important to stay home if you feel unwell and testing is a critical strategy to slow transmission. Visit the Fairfax County Health Department website for information about COVID testing and testing sites. At-home testing is also a good option. Every home in the U.S. is eligible to order a third round of free at-home COVID tests; visit COVID.gov for details. 


Laptop Returns

Student laptop collection will begin Monday, May 30. In preparation, please make sure the school laptop and charger is clean. Remove any personal stickers and the residue they leave behind. Please turn in the FCPSON issued charger with your laptop. Wrap your power adapters neatly and plug them into your laptops.

If you are missing your FCPSON issued power adapter, replacements may be purchased via MySchoolBucks
