SUMMARY NOTE
One of the ways you can take advantage of the schedule above is to note in advance how you can take advantage of the “early release”, “non-instructional”, professional teacher days, and school holidays to catch up on your child’s doctor appointments.
Remember that doctors in Montgomery county often have their offices open during holidays when other offices or businesses may be closed. Contact Alpha Allergy & Asthma to verify whether you can schedule your child’s allergy shots or asthma appointments on a school holiday, or on one of the other “No school” days listed above.
