Vaccination Opportunities

• Vaccinations are NOT required to attend school.

• Masks ARE required to return to school at this time.

At this time, WA state law requires facial coverings for students and staff while indoors and on school busses, regardless of vaccination status. Plan to send your child to school with at least one clean mask every day.

While safety guidelines continue to evolve, anticipate these additional mandatory measures to remain in place: 3 or more feet of physical distancing to the greatest extent possible; regular cleaning and disinfecting; and updated processes for responding to and reporting cases of COVID-19. Masks will not be required outdoors and vaccinations are not required for students nor staff. You may read the most recent requirements from the DOH and OSPI here.

The consequences of disobeying the mask mandate are outlined here.
