Measles is a highly contagious virus that infects 9 out of 10 people who are exposed, if unvaccinated or not immune. It has been in the news lately due to cases in Northern Virginia and among people who have traveled through local airports.
If your spring break or summer plans include traveling abroad or to an area in the United States with high measles activity, the Fairfax County Health Department encourages you to ensure your family is protected. Children 12 months and older should have 1 or 2 doses before traveling. Depending on your specific travel plans, your health care provider may also advise you to vaccinate infants 6 to 11 months old. Read more about these recommendations.

It focuses on supporting students in reaching their full potential through goal setting, teamwork, and academic preparation. AVID helps create confident learners who are prepared for success in middle school, high school, college, and beyond.
We look forward to sharing more about how AVID supports our students and school community. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to attend — and we welcome your questions!
