Key MS Families
Key MS Students vs Adults Soccer Challenge
The 1st Annual Key MS Soccer Challenge was a huge success. The students, families, and staff that participated had a wonderful time.
The staff came out on top this year, but the boys and girls on the student teams were outstanding players and the competition was intense.
This event would not have been possible without the tireless efforts of one of our amazing family members, Claudia Figueredo, and our wonderful parent liaison Monique Borthayre-Dignan.
Thank you so much for your dedication and love for our school community. Key MS is a better place because you are here.

This letter is to inform you that as of this time, 5 COVID-19 positive cases have been reported today at Key Middle School.
FCPS has directed all COVID-19 positive cases to complete their isolation period before returning to school, and our school remains open to other students and staff at this time.
As long as any other students and staff remain symptom-free, they may continue to come to school or work and no further action is required.
If students or staff develop COVID-like illness they should stay home. COVID-19 diagnostic testing for symptomatic students and staff is available at the Fairfax County Health Department (FCHD) or other community locations.
