In order to comply with the Washington State Immunization Law, a signed certificate of Immunization Statutes must be on file at the school.  Parents must fill out the form, including the month and year of the immunizations.  If there is a medical reason for the student not to have immunizations, a physician must sign the certificate.  The parent may sign a statement opposing immunization on religious grounds.

A description of any special medical conditions must be submitted to the school.  Any medication taken by the child to correct a medical condition must also be submitted to the school office.
