Attendance Matters!

Starting this week, we will no longer offer late buses on Thursdays. Therefore, all after-school academic and attendance support will now only be available on Wednesdays.

Additionally, the deans have relocated to the main office. As a result, after-school support for attendance and academics will take place in one of the conference rooms in the main office. If your child has missed more than 10 days of school or needs assistance in math or English, please have them check in with Ms. Miller, the deans' administrative assistant, in the main office.

We will continue to provide support on Wednesdays from 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM until May 21st. Please note that May 21st is the last day for students to make up for lost time and missed assignments with the deans.

If you have questions, email us at FCDeans@fcps.edu.

Excellence at a Crossroads: FCPS Budget Update

The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors will begin finalizing the budget on Tuesday, May 6. The current advertised budget underfunds FCPS by $150 million.

Without new revenue, such as the meals tax (adding just $2-3 to an average dining bill for a family of four), FCPS will face significant cuts.

What Is at Risk?

Required Immunizations for Rising 7th and 12th Graders

Additional immunizations are required for students entering 7th and 12th grades: 

• 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. 
• To meet the Tdap requirement, the vaccination must be administered at age 7 or older.
• To meet the MenACWY requirement, the vaccination must be administered at age 10 or older.
• As a parent/guardian, you may decide that your child not receive the HPV vaccination. The school does not require documentation if a parent/guardian elects for their student not to receive the HPV vaccination.
• All students entering 12th grade are to receive one dose of Meningococcal vaccine (MenACWY) prior to the beginning of school.
• To meet the MenACWY 12th grade requirement, the vaccination must be administered at age 16 or older. 

Please consider getting your child’s immunizations early so that they can attend school in the fall. Summer is a busy time for families and health care providers. As long as your child meets the age requirements listed above, they can be immunized at any time. Additional resources are available on the FCPS Immunization Resources webpage and the Fairfax County Health Department.
