Required Immunizations for Rising 7th and 12th Graders
Immunizations are required for all students entering 7th and 12th grades this fall. Visit the FCPS immunization webpage to learn about the required vaccines. Caregivers should ask their private healthcare provider or the health department to review their student's immunization record to ensure that their student has received these required immunizations.
It is important to schedule immunizations early in the summer, as seventh grade students must submit documentation of the Tdap and Meningococcal vaccines before they begin school in August. Twelfth grade students must submit documentation of the Meningococcal vaccine. Get more information on all student immunization requirements.
Vacunas obligatorias para los que ingresan al 7º y 12º grado
Las vacunas son obligatorias para todos los estudiantes que entrarán a los grados 7 y 12 este otoño. Visite la página web de inmunización de FCPS para aprender sobre las vacunas requeridas.
Los cuidadores deben pedir a su proveedor de atención médica privado o al departamento de salud que revise el registro de vacunación de su estudiante para asegurarse de que su estudiante ha recibido estas vacunas requeridas.
Es importante programar las vacunas a principios del verano, ya que los estudiantes de séptimo grado deben presentar la documentación de las vacunas Tdap y Meningocócica antes de comenzar la escuela en agosto. Los estudiantes de duodécimo grado deben presentar la documentación de la vacuna antimeningocócica.
Obtenga más información sobre todos los requisitos de vacunación de los estudiantes.
It’s Kindergarten Registration Time!
Attending kindergarten provides children with an opportunity to learn and practice the essential social, emotional, problem-solving, and self-regulation skills they will use throughout their lives. Eligible children can also be registered throughout the summer, but registering your child early helps us plan, so that we have the teachers and resources needed on the first day of school.
We are happy to support families with registration and the transition to kindergarten. For more information in other languages, visit FCPS’ Kindergarten Registration webpage.
¡Es El Momento de Inscribirse al Kindergarten!
Asistir al kindergarten les ofrece a los niños la oportunidad de aprender y practicar las habilidades sociales, emocionales, de resolución de problemas y de autorregulación que usarán durante toda su vida. Los niños que cumplen con los requisitos también pueden inscribirse durante el verano, pero inscribir a su hijo con anticipación nos ayuda a planificar, de modo que tengamos los maestros y los recursos necesarios el primer día de clases.
Estamos encantados de ayudar a las familias con la inscripción y la transición al kindergarten. Para obtener más información en otros idiomas, visite la página web de FCPS Registro para el Kindergarten.
