Tdap Immunizations

All rising 6th grade students are required to have the state mandated Tdap immunization prior to the start of the school year.  Contact the school public health nurse at 703-569-1031 if you have any questions. Sixth graders cannot begin school in the fall without documentation of having had this vaccination.


End-of-Year Medication Disposal Guidelines

The school Health Room is reminding parents and guardians that all medication stored in the clinic must be picked up no later than 2:05 pm on June 15, 2018. Medication left in the Health Room after that time will be discarded.  It is school policy that medications must be picked up by the parent or guardian.  Medication cannot be sent home with your student. 

Medication authorization forms for next school year may be obtained from the school or online at https://www.fcps.edu/resources/student-safety-and-wellness/school-health-services.

A medication authorization form is required for any medication, prescription or over-the-counter, to be kept at school.  Please be sure medication orders are clear.  All information on the form must be completed.  Part I must be signed and dated by the parent or guardian.  Part II must be signed and dated by your physician.  Over-the-counter medication given for headache, muscle pain, orthodontic pain, or menstrual cramps and antibiotic or anti-viral medication do not need a physician’s signature. More detailed information is available on the back of the medication authorization form.

Over-the-counter medication must be in the original container and clearly labeled by the parent or guardian.  All prescription medication, including physician’s samples, must be labeled by the pharmacist or physician.  Please make sure that the label clearly states your student’s name, the name of the medication, the dosage of the medication, and the time interval for administration.

If your student will be enrolled in a summer program sponsored by Fairfax County Public Schools, your existing long-term medication authorization form(s) may be used for the summer program.  Please let the health room know if you would like a copy of the form(s).

Your cooperation will ensure that we can safely give your student his or her medication.  If you have any questions, please contact your school health room aide, Deborah Staron at 703-913-8810 or your school public health nurse, Jennifer Knorr, at 703-638-8616.
