Immunizations Reminder

As we begin to look ahead to the 2022-23 school year, we encourage everyone to Be Wise, Immunize Immunizations are required for public school entry and help keep children protected from many diseases. Many children missed their well check-ups and their recommended childhood immunizations during recent years of disruptions from COVID-19. It is critical to catch up now to keep children healthy and protect them from serious diseases.

We encourage you to check with your healthcare provider to make sure your child is up to date on required immunizations for the 2022-23 school year as soon as possible. If your child needs a vaccine to complete their records, you can make an appointment with your healthcare provider or visit the Fairfax County Health Department website for a schedule of child immunization clinics. 

Remember to request documentation of your child’s immunizations and bring that to Terraset as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please contact us at 703-390-5600.

Free and Reduced-Price Meal applications will be available on the FCPS website soon; this link will be active in the next couple of days. Interested families are encouraged to submit the application at least ten days before the first day of school.
