Jefferson County Public Health will offer COVID-19 vaccinations to children aged 6 months and older beginning the first week of July. Parents and guardians may make an appointment for their child by calling 360-385-9400.
Moderna vaccine will be available for children 6 months to 5 years old. Pfizer will be available to children 5-18 years old (first, second, or booster dose).
“We recommend children get vaccinated against COVID-19 because it reduces their risk of severe disease if they catch the virus,” said Dr. Allison Berry, Health Officer for Jefferson and Clallam counties. “Severe disease in children is not common, however it can happen, especially if a child is unvaccinated.”
Side effects of the vaccine are rare among young children, according to clinical trial research. Side effects, if they did occur, were commonly a sore arm or low-grade fever. Those effects tended to get better within two days, on their own. (Any fever of 104 degrees or higher should be treated according to a doctor’s recommendations).

Thank you, let's have a tremendous last week, and GO RANGERS!!!
Mr. Moss
Each year I send a survey out to everyone in the district - staff, parents, and community members - to get your feedback on the work that I do to support our kids, you, and the community. Here is the one for this year (https://forms.gle/
It has been a rough year for all of us, to be sure. Like you, I will be glad to put the 2021-2022 school year to rest, take some much needed time over the next couple of months to reflect on the year, and plan for next year to be better.
To be clear - I am proud of the work that you have done this year!
We have accomplished a lot even in the face of all of the distractions. We should remember the things we and our students did well: visual and performing arts, athletics, and academic competitions without a doubt!
However, we should also remember the academic, social, and behavioral growth and successes. The relationships that helped you all support that growth. The connections between students, staff, and the community are a major strength of our small school.
Thank you for all that you do for our kids and our community. It is the work that you do that makes this such a great place!

Over the course of the 21/22 school year, a group of middle school parents and staff members met several times to dive into how to ensure our middle school students engage in learning on a daily basis in ways that are highly powerful and meaningful to them.
In late May, an in-person information session was held that explained many exciting changes coming to grades 6, 7, and 8 beginning next school year. Please use the following link to view a video from Principal Moss explaining this meeting in detail: https://watch.screencastify.
