This is a reminder that student schedule change requests concluded on May 18, 2026. The school counseling department spent the summer ensuring students are appropriately placed in courses. As such, we are not entertaining schedule change requests.

The deadline for your rising senior to meet the meningococcal immunization requirement is Friday, August 21, 2026.

​Parents are required to provide proof of your students' immunizations. Please include their full name and student ID on the documents, you may email BFHS-Nurses@pwcs.edu or deliver this to Battlefield HS front office during the summer.

If your health care provider indicates your student cannot receive the required immunization, provide the school nurse with a signed statement for medical exemption from the healthcare provider. Religious exemption forms may also be submitted, and the form is available on the Virginia Department of Health website.

New Medication Administration Forms and/or Health Treatment Plans are required for each school year. Forms may be obtained from your school or Student Health Services | Prince William County Public Schools
