Please join the wellness team for a “Staying Strong in Spring” presentation! The next few months are a fun and busy time at Parklawn! We want to review the ways that we will be supporting students academically, socially, and emotionally. We will also discuss how you can help your child thrive and finish the school year positively. Some topics included in the presentation will be the importance of attendance, test taking preparation, conflict resolution and healthy coping strategies. This month, we are going to host this coffee as a virtual Zoom meeting. Be on the lookout for the link, which will be sent to day before. We hope to see you all there!

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.
