Everything you need to know about Qualtrics Daily Health Emails
In an effort to keep students and staff safe and healthy, you will be receiving a daily email that is from Qualtrics. It is a health screening email for you to complete for your student before your student arrives at school each morning. We are asking that it be completed by 7:30 am everyday your student attends school. We will be checking our list in the morning that the screening has been completed, and that your student has been approved to attend school that day.

Please do not send your student to school if they have any of the following symptoms: fever, cough, sore throat, shortness of breath, fatigue, diarrhea, vomiting, runny nose, or body/muscle aches.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact your school nurses at 360-263-2133 Ext. 2118 danielle.rivers@lacenterschools.org and erin.uskoski@lacenterschools.org

Welcome to the Nurse’s Corner!
In this section, you will find helpful information and access to school-related health documentation including immunization requirements and common medical forms. Be sure to check this section often for tips and important updates on keeping your students healthy throughout the school year.
Parents, please make sure doctor’s orders and emergency care plans are updated each school year. For students with asthma, diabetes, anaphylaxis, or seizures please turn in new doctor’s orders and update emergency plan with the school nurse. Any other life threatening condition should have an emergency care plan in place so that staff can best assist your child if needed.
Please contact me for additional information and questions.
Each school year an updated Medication Authorization must be submitted prior to the first day of school (also applicable to students who self-carry medication), and Health History forms should be completed to ensure that we have current medical information on file for your child. At the beginning of each year, your school office will send home forms for you to complete and return. Follow the links provided above to print each form, complete and return them to the office of your child’s school.
Medical forms may be dropped off at the school office or faxed to the following numbers:
- Elementary School—262-2133
- Middle School- 263-5936
- High School- 263-1705

The single best way to prevent seasonal flu is to get vaccinated https://www.cdc.gov/flu/prevent/keyfacts.htm each year, but good health habits like covering your cough and washing your hands often can help stop the spread of germs and prevent respiratory illnesses like the flu. There also are flu antiviral drugs(http://www.cdc.gov/flu/antivirals/whatyoushould.htm) that can be used to treat and prevent the flu.

This FAQ will help answer questions about the current Immunization Laws for this year (2019-20) and next year (2020-2021).
(Posted Feb. 2020)
In 2019, the Washington State Legislature passed a bill that removes the personal and philosophical option to exempt children from the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine required for school and child care entry. It also requires employees and volunteers at child care centers to provide immunization records indicating they have received the MMR vaccine or proof of immunity. The bill was signed into law by Gov. Jay Inslee on May 10, 2019.
To help answer questions and share the current status, DOH has created an exemption law change webpage at www.doh.wa.gov/MMRexemption. This page contains information and resources on school and child care immunization requirement changes. The page is being updated as more information becomes available.
The recent measles outbreaks in Washington and the ongoing outbreaks across the United States demonstrate why the change to the vaccine exemption law will help keep Washington healthy and safe from three serious diseases. As the new law comes into effect, DOH will continue work in helping parents and the public understand the safety record of vaccines and the critical role they have in saving lives.

myIR - My Immunization Record
What is MyIR?
MyIR stands for “My Immunization Record” and it’s an electronic portal for consumers to directly access their official state immunization records online. In the past, consumers could only get their immunization records by calling or visiting a healthcare provider or their child’s school or contacting the state health department. This process can be time-consuming and burdensome for providers, patients, school staff, and state health departments, particularly during kindergarten registration, back-to-school season, or disease outbreaks when providers receive a high volume of immunization record requests. Registering for MyIR gives consumers a secure, easy method for accessing their and their dependents’ immunization records in real time.
