Important Reminder about Early Dismissal
Students can not be dismissed from the office after 2:30pm. The end of the school day is a very busy time. Both office staff and teachers are preparing for dismissal. If you have an appointment or need to pick your student up early from school, please plan to check them out prior to 2:30pm. Thank you!
Measles Is Preventable
Measles is making headlines as the number of cases nationwide has topped 40, with three confirmed cases in people living in or traveling through the National Capital Region.
The good news is that measles is preventable through vaccination! Vaccines help teach the immune system how to defend against germs, helping to build up natural defenses. Give your child the best protection against measles with two doses of the Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine. Visit the Fairfax County Health Department website to find out more about measles.
Extended Hours at Immunization Clinics
To help parents/caregivers obtain vaccinations for their children, the Fairfax County Health Department (FCHD) will offer immunization clinics with extended hours:
Parents/caregivers should make an appointment but a limited number of walk-ins will be accepted. Please call 703-246-7100 to schedule an appointment.
Learn more about vaccinating your child and find community resources to support their health and well-being.
Note: All students enrolling in public and private schools in Virginia are required to be adequately immunized per the Code of Virginia.
El Sarampión se Puede Prevenir
El sarampión está en los titulares, ya que el número de casos en todo el país ha superado los 40, con tres casos confirmados en personas que viven o viajan a través de la Región de la Capital Nacional.
La buena noticia es que el sarampión se puede prevenir mediante la vacunación. Las vacunas ayudan a enseñar al sistema inmunitario a defenderse de los gérmenes, contribuyendo a aumentar las defensas naturales. Proporcione a su hijo la mejor protección contra el sarampión con dos dosis de la vacuna contra el sarampión, las paperas y la rubéola (SPR). Visite el sitio web del Departamento de Salud del Condado de Fairfax para obtener más información sobre el sarampión.
Horario Extendido en las Clínicas de Vacunación
Para ayudar a los padres/cuidadores a obtener vacunas para sus hijos, el Departamento de Salud del Condado de Fairfax (FCHD) ofrecerá clínicas de vacunación con horario extendido:
Se aceptan pacientes sin cita previa hasta las 7 p.m.
Sin cita previa se aceptan hasta las 5 p.m.
Los padres / cuidadores deben hacer una cita, pero un número limitado de personas sin cita será aceptada. Llame al 703-246-7100 para concertar una cita.
Obtenga más información sobre la vacunación de su hijo y encuentre recursos comunitarios para apoyar su salud y bienestar.
 Summer is around the corner!
