Offer Your Feedback!  School Health Services Satisfaction Survey April 15 - 26, 2024

The Fairfax County Health Department (FCHD) and Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) School Health Services invites parents/guardians of FCPS students to participate in a survey requesting feedback on the level of satisfaction with School Health services provided to the school community.

FCHD employs school health aides and public health nurses who provide school health services to the students in FCPS. To determine the quality of these services, a survey has been developed by the FCHD to be shared with all parents or guardians who interact with the school health rooms. The survey will open on April 15, 2024 and will remain open until April 26, 2024. The survey should take approximately five minutes to complete.

Submit your survey.  (Translated into multiple languages.)

Water Bottles

Having trouble viewing this email? View it as a Web page.

Dear Aldrin Families,

As you may know, we have been stocking plastic water bottles in the office and giving them to students upon request. 

When we returned to school from the pandemic, our water fountains were not available to the students, and we provided water bottles (in the office) to any student who needed them.  Now, water fountains are available as are the water refilling stations…..so we have made a commitment to become more green and remove the water bottles from the front office.  As a side benefit, students will be able to remain in the classrooms for uninterrupted instructional time. 

Please encourage your children  to bring a water bottle to school or use one of the fountains. 

Water bottles will not be available in the office after Friday, February 23.

Thank You.
