Uninsured Minor & Adult Student Healthcare
● If a minor student is uninsured, they can go to Mary's Center or another clinic while their family works on getting them health insurance through the Maryland Health Connection site and county support office
● If an adult student is uninsured, they can go to a Montgomery Cares clinic; this will also allow them to access specialty care if appropriate
● If a student or sibling attends a school with a School Health Center (typically connected to Linkages to Learning or a Wellness Center), they may be seen at that clinic

Intramural News:
Want something to do after school? We've got LOTS of Intramurals coming up! Intramurals are an extension of our PE program and give students an opportunity to be active after school in a variety of ways throughout the year. In order to participate, students must have an Intramural Permission slip turned into Ms. Brouillard and be academically eligible from the previous quarter (minimum 2.0 GPA with no more than 1 "E" on their previous report card). No equipment is needed, and all skill levels are welcomed! All intramurals are over by 4:20. If a student can't get picked up at 4:20, Activity Buses are available to bring them to their neighborhood. Click here to see the Activity Bus Routes.
Flag Football Intramurals on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays for the month of December. Got questions or need an Intramural Permission Slip? See your PE/Health teacher today!!
After school Activity Buses:Students staying after school will have access to our Afterschool Activity Buses, which run every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday beginning Tuesday, September 10th. When staying for an afterschool activity, any student who does not have a ride waiting for them by the time the buses leave at 4:30 will need to get on an Activity Bus. Click here to see which Activity Bus your student would use.
