COVID-19 Update
FCPS will now accept negative results from COVID-19 Home Test Kits in order for symptomatic individuals to return to school before the standard 5 day isolation time.
Based on FDA guidance, accepting negative COVID-19 Home Test Kit results is different from Rapid Antigen or PCR test requirements. Acceptance of negative test results from COVID-19 Home Test Kits to return to school will require two negative test results at least 24 hours apart, per FDA guidance. Many home test kits include two tests per kit.
This guidance is not for individuals who test positive for COVID-19. This guidance is for symptomatic individuals who are testing in order to return to school before the standard 5 day isolation time. If parents/guardians use a COVID-19 Home Test Kit and their child tests negative, they must test their child again with a second test no sooner than 24 hours after the first test. If the second test is also negative, their child may return to school as long as they have been fever- free for at least 24 hours without using fever-reducing medication. The parent must provide the completed and signed COVID-19 Home Tests Results Form to school health staff in order for the child to return prior to the standard isolation time.
*Parents/guardians still have the option to seek a Rapid Antigen or PCR test from FCHD, FHH, a pharmacy, or a health care provider rather than using a COVID-19 Home Test Kit.
Student Absences
A note stating the reason for absence or lateness is required upon the student’s return, or the absence is automatically classified as unlawful until an approved note is provided. FCPS Regulation 400-98 mandates that a school letter be mailed when a student accumulates 3 days of unlawful absences in any marking term.
Anytime your child will be absent from school, please either send in a handwritten note or you can email MYES.Attendance@fcps.org. If you'd like to include your child's teacher in the email as a courtesy, it would be appreciated.
Absences considered lawful and therefore excused, as described in the Public School Laws and Code of Bylaws of the Maryland State Board of Education, are:
- Illness of the student
- Death in the immediate family
- Court summons
- Hazardous weather condition
- Work or activity accepted by the school authorities
- Observance of religious holiday up to 3 days
- State emergency
- Suspension
- Lack of authorized transportation
- Health exclusion
- Other emergency (judgment of Superintendent or designee)
Students who take trips with their parents may be excused no more than twice during a year for a combined maximum of five days.
