State immunization requirement changes

Beginning August 1, 2020:

• Every new student registering for school or child care in the state of Washington must have medically verified immunization records on file with the school in which they are registering. Medically verified immunization records include one or more of the following:
  • A Certificate of Immunization Status (CIS) printed from the Immunization Information System (IIS)
  • A physical copy of the CIS form with a healthcare provider signature
  • A physical copy of the CIS form with accompanying medical immunization records from a healthcare provider verified and signed by school staff
  • A CIS printed from MyIR
• The update to Chapter 246-105 WAC has three major focuses:
  • It now requires medically verified immunization records for school and child care entry.
  • It clarifies conditional status in regards to school and child care immunization requirements and implementation.
  • It changes the Tdap immunization requirement to 7th through 12th grades.

Bus Pass Restrictions

With the growth in our neighborhoods and our Seattle Hill family, we do have one bus route that is now full and closed to bus passes. Route 389 can no longer accept any bus passes for students to ride home with friends. If your child wants to go home with a student that rides Route 389, other pick-up arrangements will need to be made. Thank you and we apologize for any inconvenience!
