Before a child may attend school, the family must provide a Certificate of Immunization Status (CIS) form to staff. This form shows the child’s vaccinations or proof of immunity to disease. 

There are a couple of ways families can submit a valid CIS form:

• Families can print their child’s CIS by following the instructions on Access your Family’s Immunization Information
• Families can ask a health care provider to print out a CIS form for them.
• Families can ask their school to print out a CIS form for them. Not all schools can do this, so make sure to ask ahead of time.
• Families can fill out the CIS form themselves and attach medically verified records showing immunization using the following methods:
  • Official lifetime immunization record with a provider stamp or signature.
  • Official immigration immunization record.
  • Immunization record printed from a healthcare provider, clinic, or hospital.
  • Written immunization record with a provider stamp or signature.
  • Immunization record printed from the Washington Immunization Information System (WA IIS).

CERTIFICATE OF EXEMPTION
If a parent/guardian wants to exempt a student from receiving immunizations, a Certificate of Exemption (COE) must be completed by the parent and healthcare provider. This form is available under the Exemptions from Immunization Requirements - Certificate of Exemption tab through the Department of Health.

Bainbridge Island School District uses the Washington Immunization Information System (WAIIS), a lifetime immunization record, to monitor student immunization compliance. Only medically verified immunization records are accepted.
