Dear Families,

We want all students to stay healthy and protected against vaccine-preventable diseases!

If you have received a notification that your student is missing one or more vaccines required for school attendance, please take one of the following steps:

1. Provide updated immunization records to the school.
2. Schedule your child’s vaccinations with their health care provider or local pharmacy.
3. Visit our FREE school-based wellness center for vaccinations. Please let Nurse Adrienne know or call the Wellness Center 206-326-2141 for more information.

Flu shots are also available at the Wellness Center. Thank you for helping us keep our school community healthy and safe!

In good health,
Nurse Adrienne

After School Programming: Our Aki Kurose after-school programs through the Community Learning Center (CLC) are have started. Please contact Mr. Browne at mlbrowne@seattleschools.org if you have any questions or concerns. Programs run until 5pm on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, and end at 4pm on Wednesdays. Please note that due to school events/conferences, we will NOT have programs on the following days: 11/19, 11/23, 11/24

Each day, students can earn Crane Cash by embracing the Aki Core Four mindsets—academic, social/emotional, community, and environmental—in all school spaces. These values are introduced and reinforced through our Wednesday advisory sessions. Students can spend their crane cash in the weekly student-run Crane Cash Store, giving students fun ways to celebrate their hard work! Families are invited to support these efforts by donating store items from this list!"
