School Health Services Survey
The Fairfax County Health Department (FCHD) employs school health aides and public health nurses who provide school health services to the students in Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS). To determine the quality of these services, a survey has been developed by the FCHD to be shared with all parents or guardians and school staff members who interact with the school health rooms. This may include principals, school counselors, and main office staff members. The survey has been approved for distribution by the FCPS’ Internal Survey Advisory Committee.
Electronic versions of the survey forms may be accessed at:

Census 2020: Are you ready to be counted?
April l , 2020 is Census Dayl
The U.S. Constitution requires that each decade we take a count - or a census - of America's population. The goal is to count everyone once, only once, and in the right place.
Every household will receive an invitation to the 2020 Census before April 1st. You can respond online, by phone or by email.
Completing your census will directly benefit you! The Census numbers determine how tax funds are distributed to Virginia and Fairfax County to better serve you, your family and your neighborhood on a host of issues including:
Education Healthcare Housing Infrastructure Roads
Census data determines how many delegates Virginia can send to Congress to advocate for our community.
Responses to the census are 100% confidential. Your personal information will not be shared with immigration or law enforcement agencies. The information is only used to count the number of people living here regardless of immigration status.
IN FAIRFAX COUNTY EVERYONE COUNTS!
