Required Immunizations
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.
Free and Reduced Meal Applications
Families must submit an application and be approved to be eligible for free and reduced-price meals for the 2022-23 school year. Similar to previous years, Woodburn staff will continue to assist families with completing applications.
Students approved for Free and Reduced-Price Meals may qualify for additional benefits such as waived or reduced fees for instruments, uniforms, field trips, FCPS class fees, and Parktakes classes. Schools also benefit from funding opportunities based on Free and Reduced Price Meal application numbers.
Watch your email for more information as we will notify you when the applications are accessible. Learn more about the Free and Reduced-Price Meal program online.
If you have questions or need assistance with the Free and Reduced-Price Meals application, please contact Robyn Fernandez at 703-641-8200 or at RLFernandez@fcps.edu.
