- School Registration Form (This form is for all grades)
- Planilla de Inscripción Escolar (Registration Form in Spanish)
- Proof of Tuberculosis Screening (Reg. 723-4 Attach. I)
A certified copy of the child's birth certificate is required at the time of registration, along with proof of residence, a social security number, a valid immunization record signed by a healthcare professional, and a comprehensive physical exam dated within twelve months of the child’s entry into the public school system. All original documents will be returned to the parent, and while a social security number is requested, no child will be denied entrance to school because they do not have a social security number.
The immunization records must document three doses of DTP with one dose received after the fourth birthday; three doses of a polio vaccine with one dose received after the fourth birthday; two doses of the measles vaccine (one dose received at 12 months of age or older and the second prior to entering kindergarten); one dose of a rubella vaccine received at 12 months of age or older (usually given as MMR); one dose of mumps vaccine received at 12 months of age or older (usually given as MMR); and three doses of the hepatitis B vaccine. All susceptible children (those who have not had chicken pox) born after January 1, 1997 are also required to have a dose of varicella not earlier than the age of 12 months.
Children may be vaccinated at the Manassas or Woodbridge clinics of the Prince William County Health Department or through other medical professionals. The Manassas Health Clinic is located at 9301 Lee Avenue, Manassas, and there is also a Sudley North office of the clinic located at 7751 Ashton Avenue, Manassas. Information about both offices can be obtained by calling 703.792.6300. The Woodbridge Health Clinic is located at 13792 Smoketown Road in Woodbridge and can be reached by calling 703.792.7300. Please call the health clinics for times and schedules for vaccinations.
Vaccinations that are required for entrance into school are free from the county health clinics. A tuberculosis screening test is required for students who have been out of the United States for a period of three or more consecutive months during the previous five years.
Physical examination forms are available from the main office of each elementary school. The Virginia Department of Education and the Virginia Department of Health require documentation on the MCH 213F (School Entrance Health Form) of either a hemoglobin test within the previous twelve months; a hematocrit within the previous twelve months; or documentation of an iron-deficiency anemia risk assessment and a urinalysis.
