BACK TO SCHOOL VACCINATION CHECKLIST
Picture
DC Public Schools works closely with DC Health to ensure the health and safety of our students, staff, and community. District law and regulations require all schools to ensure students are fully immunized to attend school, and we know that childhood immunizations are critical to keeping our community safe. Now is the time for families to schedule an annual wellness visit with your child’s doctor or attend a neighborhood or school-based vaccine clinic.
New for the 2022-2023 School Year, all students ages 12 and older are required to have the COVID-19 vaccine to attend school. If you need a COVID-19 vaccine or booster, visit your local COVID Center.
Where to Obtain a Vaccine
The best place for DC families to access childhood immunizations is at their primary medical provider. If a family does not have a health care provider for their child or has difficulty securing an appointment before the first day of school, they can select one from a list of pediatric locations, located in every ward. There are DCPS School Based Health Centers to consider on that list, and mobile units that will visit schools through August and September.
For more information on obtaining immunizations by the first day of school, visit dcpsreopenstrong.com/vaccines

Las Escuelas Públicas de DC trabajan en estrecha colaboración con DC Health para garantizar la salud y la seguridad de nuestros estudiantes, el personal y de la comunidad. La ley y los reglamentos del Distrito exigen que todas las escuelas se aseguren de que los estudiantes estén completamente vacunados para asistir a clases, y sabemos que las vacunas infantiles son fundamentales para mantener la seguridad de nuestra comunidad. Ahora es el momento de que las familias programen una visita anual de bienestar con el médico de su hijo(a) o asistan a una clínica de vacunación del barrio o de la escuela.

Una nueva actualización para el año escolar 2022-2023, todos los estudiantes de 12 años o más deben tener la vacuna contra el COVID-19 para asistir a la escuela. 
Si necesita una vacuna contra el COVID-19 o un refuerzo, visite su Centro COVID local.
Dónde obtener la vacuna
El mejor lugar para que las familias de DC accedan a las vacunas infantiles es su proveedor médico principal. Si una familia no tiene un proveedor de atención médica para su hijo(a) o tiene dificultades para conseguir una cita antes del primer día de clases, puede seleccionar uno en la lista de lugares pediátricos, ubicados en cada barrio. Hay centros de salud ubicados en las escuelas de DCPS que pueden considerarse en esa lista, y unidades móviles que visitarán las escuelas durante agosto y septiembre.
Para obtener más información sobre la obtención de vacunas para el primer día de clase, visite dcpsreopenstrong.com/vaccines.

There is an access guide that shares information about the services offered such as:

  • •providing therapeutic intervention to help students cope with stress and trauma;
  • •leading small-group sessions to support students with relationship building;
  • •providing substance abuse prevention and intervention;
  • •providing strategies and skills to help students improve their focus and concentration;
  • •linking students to practical resources to help families gain access to food, clothing, and transportation;

Fill out the appropriate form and share it with your School Behavior Health Coordinator, who is available to meet with you to discuss your concerns and provide information on consent and other pre-service information.
