Update Your Child’s Immunizations and Records
Please check with your health care provider as soon as possible to make sure your child is up to date on the immunizations required by the state of Virginia. If your child has an appointment to receive their required immunizations after August 18, please submit an Immunization Action Plan to confirm the appointment.
You can check your child’s immunization compliance and submit their immunization record in SIS ParentVUE. Records may also be delivered to our front office. If needed, families may also provide other immunization documentation including a health care provider’s written statement of a permanent or temporary medical exemption or a notarized Religious Exemption Form. Please visit the FCPS How to Submit Immunization Documentation webpage for step-by-step instructions on how to submit each of these items.
If your child needs a vaccine, please make an appointment with your health care provider or visit the FCPS Immunization Resources webpage and the Fairfax County Health Department website for local immunization clinics and additional resources.
Healthy Back to School Habits
From packing healthy lunches to fitting in family physical activities, keep your kids on the right track this school year with these tips.
Suggest Questions that Lead to Thoughtful Decisions
If your teen wants help making a decision, offer questions rather than answers. Encourage your teen to ask: Which choice would I be most proud of? What choice would a person I look up to make? How far into the future will each choice affect me? If others are involved, am I treating them the way I want to be treated? What will the results of each choice be? How will I deal with those consequences? Read more here!

Reinforce Responsibility and Follow it with Fun
Children who learn responsibility at home are more responsible at school. To instill a sense of responsibility, avoid doing things for your child that your child can do independently. Assign your child some household chores, including picking up items after using them. List them on a chart so your student can check tasks off after completing them. Also list some fun activities to choose from after the work is done. Read more here !
Partner with Teachers to Help your Teen Learn
When families partner with teachers, students succeed. Educators say that making sure your teen gets to school on time is one important way to help. Another is to have your teen set a regular study time. But never do assignments for your teen. Instead, if your student is struggling, work through sample problems together. And if changes have happened in your teen's life that could affect school performance, be sure to let the teachers know. Read more here!
