If I am only teaching online, do I need to be vaccinated?
Yes, you do. If you are an employee of the district, you need to be vaccinated as a condition of employment.
Do students need be Vaccinated?
The mandatory vaccination policy includes students. For now, please note that students do not need to show proof of vaccination, but as it will be required soon, please encourage them to get vaccinated as soon as possible. Further details on student vaccination reporting and requirements will follow later in the semester.

What if I am partially vaccinated?
The policy requires employees to be “fully vaccinated” or tested weekly for COVID-19. Employees receiving one shot in a two-shot series are not considered “fully vaccinated.”
Individuals are considered “fully vaccinated” when two weeks have passed since they completed a COVID-19 vaccine series.
How do I certify my vaccination status?
Employees need to certify their vaccination record by using the Company Nurse link screen.companynurse.com/e1e97fb066927023fcdf
