If your student will continue to need medication or specialized health care at school, you and your student's licensed healthcare provider must complete and sign the proper forms. The required forms are availabe in the JCHS health office or online at www.lcps.org. This form and medication may be returned to JCHS the week prior to school starting in August.
Vaccinations for Current Seniors
All rising seniors are required to show proof of vaccination prior to the start of the 2023-24 school year. The requirement is one dose of the meningococcal vaccine (MenACWY, Menactra, or Menveo) given at age 16 or older. Please note: Men B, Bexsero, and Trumenba are not the same as MenACWY.
