Professional Certification Renewal Reminder

This is a reminder from the Professional Certification Office, letting you know that teacher will receive  an upcoming GovDelivery notice that will be sent out to expiring certificate holders on June 15.

The Professional Certification Office is encouraging certificate holders that have been granted a one-year extension with a new expiration date of June 30, 2021, to apply for renewals at this time, if they meet renewal requirements. Any full certificate holders with the June 30, 2021, expiration date can apply early. This will ensure a quicker application review. Educators who choose to renew now, that meet renewal requirements, will still benefit from the one-year extension and will gain a certificate expiration date of June 30, 2026 on their renewed certificate.

Some educators may have already taken steps to renew. If this is the case, they do not need to renew again. Fees for duplicate or incorrect applications will not be refunded, so please encourage educators who are unsure of their certificate status to contact our office for assistance.

If you have any questions, please reach out to The Professional Certification Office at cert@k12.wa.us .
