Staying Healthy This Cold/Flu Season
Cases of RSV, the flu, and other viruses often rise this time of year. It is important for students to wash their hands regularly and cover their coughs and sneezes. Please monitor your child’s health daily and keep them at home if they are sick. Visit FCPS' Health and Safety Guidance webpage for more tips.
Missing School Over the Holidays
Looking ahead to the holiday season, if missing school is unavoidable, please speak with your child’s Dean, Counselor, or Administrator in advance to create a plan for making up missed work and documenting absences accordingly. For additional resources and support, contact JusticeHigh.Attendance@fcps.edu.

PTSA HOLIDAY TREE SALE - GOOD NEWS! SALE EXTENDED! And now offering VOUCHERS for selecting the tree of your CHOICE at Meadows Farms at the time that works for you!
We heard you and did what we could to meet your needs!
YOU NOW HAVE TWO OPTIONS
A. PICK YOUR OWN TREE AT MEADOWS FARMS.
Order a 6-7 ft., 7-8 ft., or 8-9 ft. Frasier Fir tree from us online until NOVEMBER 30 (TEN MORE DAYS). And then pick-up your VOUCHER from us in the Justice High School Parking lot on December 1 between 4pm and 7pm (rain or shine). You can go to Meadows Farms and select the tree of your choice at a time that is convenient for you! More time to order and you can be picky about your tree.
B. DRIVE-THRU TREE PICK-UP AT JHS.
Order a 6-7 ft., 7-8 ft., or 8-9 ft. Frasier Fir tree (these are the same trees sold at Meadows Farms) online until November 22 (TWO MORE DAYS). Pick-up your PRE-WRAPPED tree in the Justice High School Parking lot on December 1 between 4pm and 7pm (rain or shine). Less time to order, but you'll have your tree ready to go and there will be helper elves (and twine) to help you load it in a drive-thru line.
Either way, you can also order a tree to donate and we will ensure that a school family receives it.
