Emergency Care Form, Health Information Form
The goal of the health room is to ensure your student experiences a healthy and safe school year. To proactively plan, we ask that parents/guardians complete the Online/Verification Update packet in SIS ParentVUE to include emergency contact information, Health Information Forms, and Emergency Care Forms. The Online Verification Update (OVU) packet allows parents to review and update phone numbers, emergency contacts, and health information (such as health conditions and immunizations) for students in grades PS/HS and kindergarten through 12th grade. The enrolling parent will be able to access OVU through their SIS ParentVUE account. OVU will be available on July 29th. To assist you, follow this link to the site.
Please update no later than September 6, 2024.
Back to School Medication Drop-off
If your student will have a medication at school, please complete the appropriate authorization form: medication, inhaler and/or epinephrine. A new authorization form is required annually for medications kept in the health room, and for students who self-carry emergency medications such as inhalers or epinephrine.
Please note that an authorization form is also required for medications needed during any FCPS-sponsored activity occurring outside of regular school hours (ex: field trips, sports, band, drama, chorus, etc.) in accordance with FCPS Medication Administration Regulation 2102.
Parents may drop off unexpired medications and forms in the health room on
Tuesday, August 13th, and Thursday, August 15th from 8 am to 3 pm.
Once school begins, medication may be dropped off any school day from 8 a.m. - 3 p.m. Students who are self-carrying emergency medication may drop off authorization forms in the health room.
Medication Guidelines
FCPS continues to follow medication protocols to help ensure the safety of medication administration at school. Important requirements include:
- Any time you drop off or pick up a controlled medication in the health room, both the parent/guardian and School Health Aide/FCPS staff member will complete and sign a Medication Delivery/Pick Up Form documenting, among other things, the type and quantity of medications dropped off/picked up. A copy of the completed form will be provided to the parent/guardian and school administrator.
- Medications will be reviewed to ensure the medication description on the container/packaging matches the medication in the container.
- All prescription medications must have a pharmacy label on the original pharmacy container. Over the counter (OTC) medications must be in an unopened original container. It is not acceptable for parents/guardians to bring in refills and transfer those medications into the container in the health room throughout the school year.
- Only a 30-day supply of prescription medications should be brought to school. No more than 100 tablets or pills of OTC medication should be brought to school.
School Health Room Information
School Health Room Services Include:
- Care of sick and injured students in accordance with the Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) School Health Emergency Temporary Care Guidelines and students’ individualized health care/action plans, if applicable.
- Administration of medication provided by parents/guardians with proper authorization completed by their health care provider.
- Coordination of care for students with chronic health conditions during the school day.
-
Hearing and vision screening (grades K, 3, 7, 10, new to FCPS, and those students referred by teachers and parents/guardians).

Student Chromebook Information
Chromebook distribution for new students, incoming freshmen, and for students who did not keep their Chromebooks over the summer will occur during all English classes on the first and second days of school. Students who kept their Chromebooks over the summer are advised to power on their devices to ensure they are charged and to receive updates prior to the first day of school. Additionally, all students can expect to receive an email from the FCPS Tech Support Desk during the week of August 12th, which will contain resources and information regarding FCPS Chromebooks.
Student Insurance
During the school day, a student may have an accident that results in injury. There is a common misconception that FCPS (Fairfax County Public Schools) is financially responsible for medical bills resulting from such injuries. However, this is not the case.
Students who participate in sports are required to have health insurance. FCPS does not provide medical insurance for students, but parents can purchase low-cost Voluntary Student Insurance through K & K Insurance Group.
This student accident insurance program offers an affordable way for parents to cover medical or dental expenses resulting from their child's accident. For those who already have medical or dental insurance, this additional coverage can help with deductibles, limitations, and exclusions. For those without medical insurance, these accident policies provide primary coverage.
Please read the information on K&K Student Accident Insurance found here, to determine if this coverage would be beneficial for your child.
