Fairfax County is seeing very high levels of influenza (flu) illness. Visits to emergency departments and urgent care centers for flu-like illness have increased, especially among children, and multiple flu outbreaks have occurred in our community and school settings.
Consider these tips from the Fairfax County Health Department to help reduce the spread of flu and other germs.

In Virginia, all children starting at age five (5) are required to attend school regularly. North Springfield ES staff must record student attendance every day school is in session.
All absences, whether excused and unexcused, count toward chronic absenteeism. Chronic absenteeism is missing more than ten percent, or 18 days, of the full school year. Attention to student attendance and active efforts to reduce chronic absenteeism is part of the new VDOE accreditation rating process for our school.
NSES staff can help children do their best learning when they are with us in school! Families can help by:
- Planning vacations or trips on days in which there is already no school schedule.
- Having your child attend school before or after any appointments, such as a doctor or dentist visit.
- Support your child in healthy practices, such as hand-washing, using tissue, covering coughs, eating healthy foods and getting a full-night's sleep.
- Keeping children at home if they are sick with a fever, vomiting or diarrhea. Also, please keep children home if they are contagious with pink eye, rash or strep throat. This allows your child to get better and keeps others from getting sick.
Thank you for your continued partnership in supporting student success!
Behavior Intervention Services (BIS) is excited to offer families a no-cost, four-part “Building Skills for Success” training series on executive functioning skills.
