All children attending schools in Washington state must provide medically verified Immunization Records.  Students who do not receive the required immunizations or provide exemption information will be excluded from school starting on the first day of school.

One way you can support providing medically verified immunization records is to log into Skyward Family Access to provide us permission so we can update vaccination information as we receive it.  When you log in, you will find an alert asking you to update information.  Please follow the directions under “Options to Update” and you can interact with the immunization sharing permission form.  If you need assistance with accessing Skyward (Family Access) please contact the school secretary.
