1) Through a health insurance plan provided by your employer;
2) Through a health insurance policy you purchase directly;

Enrollment in school insurance only does not satisfy this new mandate. For more information about NJ Family Care or to apply, please call 1-800-701-0710 or visit www.njfamilycare.org. Additional information can be found on the links below.
Parents or guardians who earn too much to qualify for NJ Family Care can purchase health insurance for their children at reasonable rates through another program called the NJ Family Care Advantage Program, which is administered by Horizon NJ Health. For more information about this program, please call NJ Family Care Advantage at 1-800-637-2997 or visit www.horizonNJhealth.com.

Healthy children
make better students! The
Department of Education goal is to assist all
Sincerely,
Dr. Richard Perry
Superintendent of Schools
