These photos will be used in the yearbook, but it is not required to purchase a photo package for a portrait to be taken; students may simply ask for a single photo to be taken for their yearbook photo. Details about makeup days and retakes will be released after the scheduled photo dates. To purchase photo packages in advance, go to mylifetouch.com and enter the code EVTVKF9Q6.
Lifetouch will be following all safety protocols as they pertain to COVID-19, including the following:
We understand that not all students and families will feel comfortable having their portraits taken in the school without a mask. Therefore, we are offering two other options for including students’ portraits in the yearbook in this unique year.
Spectators at FCPS Athletic Contests FCPS and MHS are excited to welcome limited spectators to fall athletic competitions. Admittance to all athletic events is limited to two guests per student-athlete. Student-athletes will provide the names of their guest to their coach at least one day prior to the event date. Please know that some athletic competitions are held off campus, and FCPS will respect and follow all guidelines set forth by those organizations and venues, which may include no spectator policies.
While attending the athletic contests:
FCPS and MHS hope that everyone will abide by these guidelines and enjoy watching our student-athletes compete in the safest manner possible. Failure to comply with FCPS spectator protocols (including properly wearing face coverings and maintaining social distancing) will result in the suspension of spectator attendance at athletic competitions.
Schools will continue to live stream as many athletic contests as possible.
