VACCINATIONS AND FIELD PLACEMENTS

As you are most likely aware, Washington now requires all state employees to be fully vaccinated by Oct. 18, 2021. Any teacher candidates placed in a school district for the purpose of an internship, student teaching, or practicum, must abide by this same rule.

Heritage University policy regarding COVID-19 vaccination status clearly requires that all students be fully vaccinated. You will find the link to the Heritage University policy below. We would like to direct you to the specific language applicable to placement in school districts per Heritage University Policy.

Accredited programs, extracurricular programs/activities, or academic programs that place students in other organizations such as hospitals, schools, or State agencies may have strict vaccination requirements. Such organizations may also need to comply with State mandates or other policies adopted during the pandemic. As such, Heritage University officials have the right to disclose privately to faculty chairs a student's vaccination status. Students that have an approved exemption from Heritage University should in no way assume those exemptions are valid at other organizations. Heritage University has no jurisdiction over such organizations and students who are seeking an exemption for placement in those organizations must comply with those requirements and procedures. Students that have valid medical and religious exemptions are also not guaranteed placement at those sites given Heritage University students are considered guests. (Link: https://heritage.edu/coronavirus/ )

A failure to comply with the state’s requirements will result in the prevention of future placements in our partner school districts.

Please follow this link to upload documentation of vaccination directly to Heritage University: https://myheritage.heritage.edu/ICS/Students/Student_COVID_Information.jnz
I acknowledge and will comply with the above vaccination mandate in accordance with Washington state requirements (you will not be able to continue with this application without agreeing to the above statement). If you have questions or concerns, please direct them to collegeofed@heritage.edu. *

Yes, I acknowledge and will comply with the above vaccination mandate.
