In order to help our school streamline our contact tracing procedures, we are asking that parents provide information regarding their students' vaccination status.

Please take a moment to complete this form, if you feel comfortable doing so. Unless we can confirm your students' vaccination status through ImmuNet, we will need to assume that students for whom a response has not been submitted are unvaccinated.

Please submit one form per student. At this time, we only need the information for the student(s) who attend Longfellow Elementary School.
