7th Grade Immunization Requirement
The Code of Virginia, (https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title22.1/chapter14/section22.1-271.2/) , requires all students to be immunized against certain communicable diseases. All students entering 7th grade are required to receive one dose of each of the following immunizations prior to the beginning of school: Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis booster (Tdap), Meningococcal vaccine (MenACWY), and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine. Students who do not meet this requirement will be unable to start school in the fall.
If you have records of these Immunization, please submit them to Kristy Kim at kskim1@fcps.edu
Please update the School Public Health Nurse of any medical conditions that may impact your student’s school day.
- Spring weather is here and with that comes spring allergies - it's that time in the year to start those allergy medications! Allergy symptoms can be difficult to differentiate between cold, flu, and COVID 19 symptoms. It is important to have seasonal allergies documented as a health condition so we know why your student is symptomatic and what symptoms he/she may present with.

Please email the Public Health Nurse, Tiffany Khattar, at tkhattar@fcps.edu.
