BOTHELL — Ten North Creek High School students with no record of measles immunization won’t be returning to campus until at least June 3 in an effort to keep the viral infection from spreading.

A student at the Bothell-area campus was confirmed to have measles earlier this week.

“Our nursing staff and support staff at the high school, along with the Snohomish Health District, scoured immunization records and determined which students might need to be excluded from school,” the Northshore School District announced in a Friday press release.

Exclusion letters were sent to families. The district began receiving the combined measles, mumps and rubella vaccine verifications from health care providers for some students who were expected to be excluded. That pared the list to the 10 students.

Roughly 99 percent of North Creek High students have had an MMR vaccination.
