End of Year Medication Pick-Up
 The school health room is reminding parents and guardians that all medication stored in the health room must be picked up no later than the student dismissal time on the last day of school, Wednesday June 17th or for students attending ESY at Key Center School, no later than student dismissal time on the last day of ESY, Thursday July 30th. Medication left in the health room after that time will be destroyed. It is school policy that medications must be picked up by the parent or guardian. Medication cannot be sent home with your student. If your student will be enrolled in a summer program sponsored by Fairfax County Public Schools at another center, the existing medication authorization form(s) may be used for the summer program, but you will need to pick up the medication on the last day of school and deliver the medication and completed forms to the summer learning site on the first day of the summer program. Please let the health room know if you would like a copy of the form(s).
Medication authorization forms, Asthma Action Plans and authorizations, Seizure Action Plan Authorization, and Specific Health Care Procedures Authorization Forms (including G-tube authorization forms) for next school year may be obtained from the school or online at https://www.fcps.edu/resources/student-safety-and-wellness/school-health-services. A medication authorization form is required for any medication, prescription or over-the-counter, to be kept at school.
Free Summer Meals for Students- FCPS Food Service
 Fairfax County Public Schools will provide free summer meals to all children through the Summer Food Service Program. Meals are available on a first-come, first-served basis at designated locations, and children must remain onsite while eating.

School Board Adopts Fiscal Year 2027 Approved Budget
 On May 21, the Fairfax County School Board unanimously adopted the Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 Approved Budget, continuing FCPS’ commitment to sustaining excellence by prioritizing competitive compensation and strategic investments that support student success.
The adopted budget reflects the division’s ongoing efforts to navigate a challenging fiscal environment shaped in part by chronic state underfunding and economic uncertainty. Despite these challenges, the budget maintains key investments and restores several reductions made during the prior fiscal year. Read about the FY 2027 Budget.
