Make Sure Your Children Are Up-to-Date on Immunizations
Please make sure your child has all of their necessary immunizations. Remember, all students are required to be immunized against certain diseases to attend school in Virginia. This is an important part of keeping children healthy!
Starting Monday, September 30, students who have not provided proof of immunization will not be allowed to attend school. You can check your child’s immunization compliance and submit immunization information by accessing SIS ParentVUE.
Please check with your family's health care provider to make sure your child is up to date on required immunizations for the 2024-25 school year. If your child needs a vaccine to complete their records, make an appointment with your healthcare provider, visit the Fairfax County Health Department website for a list of child immunization clinics, or access other local services. Be wise and immunize!
You may choose to drop off your child's latest immunization record to the Bush Hill Main Office. You may also email it to our SIA/Registrar, Ms. Elizabeth DePalma efdepalma@fcps.edu
Fairfax County Health Department (FCHD) will provide immunizations for FCPS elementary students on Early Release Mondays at their district offices beginning in October. Childhood and adolescent vaccines will be offered free of charge. You may schedule an appointment by calling 703-246-7100. Also, immunization clinic opportunities that are being held for FCPS students are outlined on the Immunization Resources web page.
Thank you

Fueling Student Success: New Food Options Cooked up at FCPS
Students will have more than a dozen new options for lunch and breakfast in school cafeterias starting this week. New menu items were either favorites at last year’s food show — including Korean BBQ wings, sweet Thai chili wings, chicken tikka masala, and barbacoa street tacos — or were tested with student focus groups and tastings.
View school menus to see all the new options and when they will become available.
