FAMIS, in collaboration with the Department of Education, announces the 11th Annual Back-to-School Campaign.

Again this year, FAMIS has initiated a statewide Back-to-School Flyer distribution. Approximately 800,000 flyers were shipped to more than 1,300 schools across the Commonwealth, to be given to students during the first week of school. In addition, FAMIS Inserts were sent to each school division, to be distributed with acceptance letters for the Free and Reduced Price School Lunch Program. To print out a copy of the FAMIS Back-to-School Flyer, go to the Materials page. We will also be lending support to community events throughout Virginia.

We’d like your help: We have developed a "drop-in" article about FAMIS entitled, "Get it, Use it, Keep it!" We encourage schools, parent-teacher associations, youth organizations, churches, and local media to use this article in your publication or as a separate hand-out. To access the article, click on the Get it, Use it, Keep it link above. If you have any questions about the Back-to-School Campaign, or would like to tell us about an event in your area, contact us at famis@dmas.virginia.gov.

Your outreach efforts for FAMIS can make
"covering children with affordable health insurance"
a reality!

Teens still need well checkups, booster immunications and dental checkups. Please
