1. Up to date Immunization Certificate with expiration date (yes, your student will receive immunizations required at this age)

Reminders:
· School Health Services are provided by the Montgomery County Health Department. In order for your child to be seen by the school nurse and receive services (other than emergency first aid) you MUST complete the school health consent—sent home the first week of school. Consent is also available online or from the school nurse.
· In order for your child to receive daily medication you MUST complete the medication consent form--Montgomery County Policies and Procedures 09.2241 AP 21—available online or from the school nurse.
· If your child has an AS NEEDED or EMERGENCY MEDICATION for a health condition such as an inhaler, Diastat, glucagon, Benadryl, Epi Pen, etc… you and your child’s health care provider MUST complete and Individual Health Plan (IHP)—available online or from the school nurse.
· BY LAW: If your child (middle or high school) is going to be responsible for carrying and/or administering their own as needed or emergency medication, their health care provider must
