STOPPING THE SPREAD
During this period of high transmission of COVID-19 in Loudoun County, we ask for your help to keep our school open and to keep children, staff and families healthy. Here are three things you can do to help:
- Keep children home when they are sick.
- Make sure children wear a well-fitted mask on the bus and at school.
- Remind children about the importance of distancing, especially when masks are off at snack and lunch.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT MASK
Masks will be provided to students when necessary for their safety and the safety of others. Please contact us if you have questions or concerns at 703-957-4380.

LCPS VACCINE EVENTS
LCPS wants to remind anyone who has not received their vaccination to make an appointment to be vaccinated. This is especially important with the spread of the Omicron variant. LCPS will host several walk-in COVID-19 vaccine events in coordination with the Loudoun County Health Department and Giant Pharmacy. First and second Pfizer doses are available for anyone age five and older. Only Pfizer boosters will be available for those who are 16 and older.
According to the CDC, current vaccines are expected to protect against severe illness, hospitalizations and deaths due to infection with the Omicron variant. Boosters are now also recommended for everyone 16 and older. For additional information about COVID-19 vaccination, visit Loudoun County’s COVID-19 Vaccine page.
