Please contact the Health Room if you have questions or concerns regarding immunizations, vision, and hearing results, medications, health conditions, or treatments. Please remember that it is important to notify me if your student has any medical changes that could affect their care at school. This may include any new diagnosis such as asthma or diabetes.

Life-Threatening Health Conditions: Many students have health conditions such as bee sting or peanut allergies, sever asthma, diabetes, seizures, or heart conditions that may cause a life-threatening emergency during the school day. These students must have a plan, including medication and/or treatment orders, in place prior to the first day that they will attend school. Please contact me for the necessary forms.

Are Your Kids Ready for School? To go to school in Washington, students must show that they've had immunizations, or file a legal exemption with the school. Make sure that your children are up-to-date on their immunizations.

Vising and Hearing: If you have concerns about your child's vision or hearing, please feel free to contact me.

All health rooms will be available before school starts to drop off required paperwork and medications that need to be on file before your child can start school, such as epi-pens, diabetes orders and supplies, and critical medications. All students with life-threatening conditions (e.g. asthma, diabetes, seizures) need to have orders and medications in before they can attend school. If you have any questions, call your school's Health Room or Office.

The State of Washington recently passed a bill that removes the personal and philosophical option to exempt children from the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine required for school and child care entry. The bill was signed into law by Governor Jay Inslee on May 10, 2019. The new law will take effect July 28, 2019, and those children that do not have a religious or medical exemption and have not received the MMR vaccine will not be allowed into school. Please contact your health room personnel before summer or Student Support in the District Office if you have questions.
