I need to complete the Attendance form from the MVA for my student's learner's permit

Maryland State Law requires all applicants for a learner's permit, under the age of 16, to demonstrate acceptable school attendance in the prior school semester. Please use this form to verify and certify School Attendance for a student.  To verify school attendance, School Official or Home School Coordinator must complete Sections B and D of this form.

This form replaces the DL-300A, which was in use during COVID. 

Accident and Medical Insurance

Accident Insurance

The school system does not carry medical insurance for accidents that occur at school, including non-sport related injuries, such as trips and falls, physical education injuries, and recess/playground injuries. Thus, parents are encouraged to enroll students in the accident insurance program offered through HCPSS.

Medical Insurance
