Return to Work Guide

The Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) Return to Work Guide is based on the guidelines provided in the Fairfax Forward Employee Guide and adheres to the phased reopening guidelines outlined by Governor Ralph Northam, in accordance with Forward Virginia Guidance. Information will continue to be updated as we learn more and establish new practices and policies. The following guidelines are applicable to all FCPS facilities, including schools and administrative buildings. 

Phased Reopening & Impact on FCPS Operations

Governor Ralph Northam’s guidelines for reopening Virginia is a three-phase plan. On July 1, 2020, the Governor moved Northern Virginia to Phase Three.  More information on Phase 3 is available. 

For FCPS Employees, Phase 3 means:

In Phase Three, our worksites will be open for employees to work. FCPS continues to encourage employees who can to telework. If you are unsure if you should continue to telework, please contact your program manager.

Information on leave programs for employees who cannot return to work or for whom telework is unavailable are detailed in the full document. 

All employees will be asked to wear a face covering or mask in FCPS buildings in open areas and when social distancing cannot be maintained.  More details on personal protective equipment (PPE) are available in the complete FCPS Return to Work Guide.
 
Visitors to FCPS will be required to make an appointment. Visitors to FCPS facilities must also wear a face covering or mask. All buildings will be supplied with disposable masks for visitors who do not have one. Protocols to follow to schedule and receive visitors are available in the complete FCPS Return to Work Guide.
