five years of age by September 30, 2008. This is in accordance with changes
found in the 1990 cumulative supplement to the
State law and Montgomery County School Board policies require parents to
provide the child’s birth certificate and social security card when a child
enrolls in a public school. Parents/guardians will be asked for proof of
residence (utility bill, rent/lease agreement, etc.) before a child can attend
school in the fall. The School Entrance Physical Examination and
Immunization Certification form must be completed by a medical doctor.
All enrollment forms are available on the Montgomery County Public Schools’
website at www.mcps.org. These forms
can be downloaded, filled out, and taken to your child’s school when you go to
enroll. Questions should be directed to the school in which the child
expects to enroll. You may contact individual schools about special events
that may be planned.
