Does my child need an updated immunization form to register? If so, what are the required immunizations for my student?

All enrolled HCS students are required to have a valid Form 3231, Form 3231 with medical exemption, or the notarized religious exemption Form 2208 for enrollment. Students also need the Ear, Eye, Dental & Nutrition Screening Form 3300. Please note: Henry County Schools staff cannot notarize any forms.

There are special requirements for all 7th- and 11th-grade students. For more information regarding school vaccinations, visit https://dph.georgia.gov/schoolvaccines. Students not in compliance are subject to withdrawal from school, see HCS Policy JBCD and Regulation JBCD (R)1. 

HCS utilizes a multi-layered approach to safety and security. Our safety strategy is one layer, along with well-trained school personnel. School Resource Officers are another layer of support. Additional layers include our anonymous tip line, “See Something, Say Something” at 770-220-7009, our emergency response system, and single-point entry at all schools and district offices. Each security layer works in tandem to ensure all HCS learning environments are safe and secure.   

School counselors, social workers, mental health and wellness facilitators, and school psychologists are available in all of our schools for students. School counselors and social workers can provide referrals to outside mental health clinicians for more intensive ongoing therapeutic services. The Georgia Crisis and Access Line (1-800-715-4225) and 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline are free resources available 24/7 to assist families experiencing a behavioral or mental health crisis.
