Enrollment Health Forms

If you are registering a new student to MCPS, in addition to updated immunization records, you will need the following forms to be completed and returned to school:

Incoming 7th graders

The Maryland school immunization regulations (COMAR 10.06.04) require children enrolled in school to show proof of having completed required immunizations.

All Grade 7 students must have both a Tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis (Tdap) and meningococcal (MCV) vaccine. Parents/Guardians are urged to provide to the health room the documentation of the Tdap and MCV immunizations as soon as possible this current school year, or before the first day of school next year.

Todo estudiante nuevo, aparte de record de vacunación, necesita los siguientes documentos:

Estudiantes entrando a 7 tmo grado

Los reglamentos de vacunación de las escuelas de Maryland (COMAR 10.06.04) requieren que los estudiantes que están inscritos en las escuelas muestren prueba de que ya han completado todas las vacunas requeridas.

Todos los estudiantes del Séptimo grado deben tener la vacuna del Tétano, difteria y la tos ferina acelular (Tdap), y la vacuna meningocócica (MCV). Estamos pidiendo que los padres/apoderados del estudiante muestren prueba de estas vacunas de su hijo(a) a la sala de la enfermera escolar lo más pronto posible este año escolar, o antes del primer día de escuela del próximo año escolar.
