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
Left Behind
Whew, the Left Behind is overcrowded; jackets on top of sweatshirts, mushed
between hoodies, and even the table is gathering clothing! If you are attending
Spring Book Fair events, PLEASE check for items. Encourage your child(ren) to bring home their clothing. Single gloves will be disposed of at the end of the
week if not claimed; they have been there quite a while. Items remaining at the
end of the school year will be donated to The Closet in Herndon.
School Supplies 26-27
 Yes, it feels early. And that’s actually the point! Ordering now means you can check next year's school supplies off your to do list before summer even begins.
Select your child’s grade at the link below, and everything will arrive at your house by early August, packaged and ready to go! A portion of your purchase will benefit Crossfield! Order here by July 1, 2026: https://1stdayschoolsupplies.com/gs/108816
