REQUIRED VACCINATIONS FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR 2023-2024

The Annotated Code of Maryland (10.06.04.03) states that all Maryland students who are new to Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) and those entering Grade 7, are required to provide documentation of required vaccinations or a medical or religious exemption. This documentation is required within the first 20 days of school. Principals will receive a list of students who have not provided documentation of the required vaccination from their assigned School Health Services (SHS) staff member. Students on this list will be excluded from school until such documentation is provided.
