[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm furious about the rules for 12-15 year olds.  They can't be boosted and most are at 6+ months now.  Their immune response was so much higher than adults, they may not even need a booster.  They are going to miss so much school b/c the juniors and seniors in HS are the only ones booster eligible.  On top of that, they are canceling sports (the one place that requires daily testing).  My 14 yo could be quarantined for a week with no covid, go back to school and get exposed again and miss another week.  This is ridiculous.  We need test to stay.  [/quote]

Yes, I’m expecting they’ll reverse the decision to pause sports, honestly. They did last year after a parent outcry and no kids were even vaccinated. VHSL mandates vaccination to participate in winter sports this year, and the MS testing requirements seemed robust. APS was the only local school district that I remember canceling winter sports last year before they reversed the decision, and it looks like they are standing alone again this year.

And band, orchestra, and theater are cancelled through 1/14? So, I guess the classes continue but the after school activities don’t?

Has any other DMV school district cancelled sports? I am dreading explaining to my kids why their friends in FCPS are still playing school sports while they take two weeks off.
