Student Health Information
Health Services partners with families and communities to ensure that all students are healthy, safe and ready to learn.
If your student has a health condition or concern, please contact your school nurse.
Get Ready for the First Day of School!
Is your student ready for the first day of school? To avoid delays, please go to the Forms page to find necessary forms and prepare for the first day of school.
Student Immunizations
Check your student’s vaccination records or contact your health care provider to be sure your student has received all their required vaccines.
If you received a letter from Health Services about vaccines your student needs for school, please make sure they receive the immunization(s). Send the immunization record to the school nurse or have your health care provider fax the record to the nurse. Read more about immunizations required for students at SPS.

Accessing Student Health Information
Seattle Public Schools partners with SchoolCare, our student health record platform, to manage student health information. This platform is both HIPAA and FERPA compliant. SchoolCare is accessed only by school nurses and a limited number of office staff who have received training in using the system and work at schools without a full time nurse. There is no parent portal or parent access to SchoolCare. You can contact your child’s nurse when you have questions about your child’s care during the school day or health information on file with the district.
