Immunizations
Immunizations are important for keeping children healthy, in school and ready to learn. Immunizations can reduce the severity of disease or prevent disease entirely and reduce the spread of disease.
Meningococcal and Human Papilloma Virus
The Washington State Legislature requires us to make information available to you about meningococcal disease and human papillomavirus (HPV). Know the facts about these diseases and the vaccines available to protect your child.
What is meningococcal disease?
Meningococcal disease is a serious bacterial infection. Fortunately, this life-threatening illness is rare, with only 20-30 cases reported each year in Washington. The most common symptoms of the disease include fever, cough, headache, and rash. It can cause meningitis (swelling of the covering of the brain and spinal cord). The disease spreads through close contact with an infected person. Teens and young adults are more likely to get meningococcal disease, especially if they live in group settings like college dorms.
How can I protect my child from meningococcal disease?
The meningococcal conjugate vaccine, or MCV4, prevents against four types of the disease. It is a 2-dose series recommended for all children between 11 and 12 years of age, and again at 16 to 18 years of age. The meningococcal B vaccine, or MenB, is recommended for some children with rare health conditions or who are at risk during a meningococcal B outbreak. For more information about meningococcal disease and how to prevent it:
What is HPV?
HPV is a common virus. Most people exposed to HPV will never develop health issues. But for others, HPV causes major health problems, including cervical, anal, vulvar, mouth, and throat cancer. Most infected people have no symptoms and may spread the virus without knowing it. HPV spreads mainly through sexual contact.
How can I protect my child from HPV?
Make sure your child gets the HPV vaccine. The vaccine is highly effective. The HPV vaccine can prevent infection from some of the most common and serious types of HPV that cause cancer and genital warts. The vaccine does not get rid of existing HPV infections. Because the vaccine is more effective when given at younger ages, two doses of HPV vaccine are recommended for all boys and girls starting at ages 9 to 14. If boys or girls do not get the first dose of HPV vaccine before age 15, it is recommended as a three-dose series.
For more information on HPV, the vaccine, and cervical cancer:
Where can I find the meningococcal and HPV vaccines?
Talk to your healthcare provider about the vaccines your child needs. In addition to meningococcal and HPV, your preteen should receive Tdap. Washington offers vaccines at no cost to kids through age 18. Providers may charge an office visit fee or administration fee to give the vaccine. If you can’t afford these fees, you can ask to have them waived.
Immunizations:
To prevent the spread of disease, all students must be in compliance with scheduled immunizations or have a valid Physician signed exemption.
The law has changed starting in Fall of 2020; all students must provide immunization documentation from a physician. Students will NOT be allowed to attend school AT ALL, even distance learning, until immunizations are current or an exemption is provided to the school nurses. This must be done every year.
For more information please see the new law: https://www.doh.wa.gov/YouandYourFamily/Immunization/SchoolandChildCare/RuleChanges
Medications at School:
When possible, please give required medication at home. If it is not possible, the school nurse or trained staff member will administer the medication.
Medication at school must be accompanied by a legal guardian consent and physician’s order at the beginning of each year. No medications will be given without signed documentation by the physician and the guardian. It is the responsibility of the guardian to provide the medications and orders to the school. The medication forms are available on our website under the health tab and available in person or by fax.
Students with known life-threatening illnesses will not be allowed to attend school until medications and orders are provided to the school. Please speak with the nurse regarding and we are glad to assist with getting orders in place to minimize contact.

Medicine must be brought to the school by a parent or guardian.
Pandemic (COVID-19) Precautions:
Please do not send your student to school if you suspect they are ill or have been around anyone that is ill. We will be working hard to keep ALL of our students and staff safe and healthy.
Students will not be allowed to attend school with a fever, cough, shortness of breath, vomiting, diarrhea, sore throat, body aches or other symptoms associated with illness. If students are in quarantine/isolation determined by a doctor; a doctor note will be required for re-entry to school.
Guardians will be asked to pick up their student if these symptoms develop while the student is at school. Timely pick-up will be required to help ensure other students are kept safe. School transportation will not be available for sick children.
