A Message from Nurse Patrick about Vision and Hearing Screening:
Hello families,
We wish so much we could be in person to screen your child's hearing and vision but until we return to normalcy this will not be possible unfortunately.
We recommended that you monitor your student for auditory and vision impairments.
• Ensuring students’ vision and hearing is not impaired is essential to continued success in
learning, both in-person and virtually. If you have a concern about your
child’s vision, please make an appointment with a licensed vision care professional
such as an ophthalmologist or optician. If you do not have insurance, please contact your school nurse to obtain a voucher.
• Taking a student to a well-child visit is beneficial for a student’s health, including their
vision and hearing. Well-child visits, while not a replacement for school-based
screenings, may capture an auditory or vision impairment.
!!!Out-of-Compliance with Immunization Requirements!!!!
Please know that our school nurse, Patrick Roach , is contacting families who are out of compliance.
As of August 1st, 2020, a new immunization rule requires a student to have received all of the school required immunizations that are expected by the State immunization schedule on or before their first day of in-person attendance to attend school (this includes sports and other program activities). We have provided more details on the rule change and materials to support you at www.doh.wa.gov/schoolimms2020.
The parents/guardians are required to provide proof of their student’s immunization records to the school on or before their first day of attendance and these records must be medically verified and could include:
- A Certificate of Immunization Status (CIS) printed from the Immunization Information System
- A physical copy of the CIS form with a healthcare provider signature
- A physical copy of the CIS with accompanying medical immunization records from a healthcare provider verified and signed by school staff
- A CIS printed from MyIR
Families are no longer provided a 30-day conditional status unless they have received the first dose of the vaccine series. Which they are then provided the number of days of conditional status until the next vaccine series date requirement is completed. Student Health Services has reached out to parents/guardians encouraging them to get their students caught up on vaccinations. As we are getting ready to increase the number of students returning to in-person learning at all levels, I wanted to provide a reminder that it is the duty of the building administrator by law, RCW 28A.210.120, to prohibit students from attending school for whom are not in compliance with RCW 28A.210.080 and to continue to prohibit the student until such proof of immunization, certification of exemption, or approved schedule has been provided.
