• The State of Washington passed laws last year to lessen the opportunities for parents to opt-out of immunizations. We are also under a 30 school day time period to get all students up to date with MMR immunizations.

Eventually, students not in compliance with immunization law will have to be excluded from school until they are in compliance.
