The Health Office is excited to announce that we are transitioning to an online database to manage your son's student medical record.
For the upcoming school year and moving forward, the Health Office at Saint John's will be shifting all student medical information to an online database called Magnus Health SMR (Student Medical Record). There are many benefits to this change including less paperwork for parents to complete each year and having the most accurate information accesible to the appropriate staff while at school. We expect the SMR to launch within the coming days, all new and current families will be receiving and email soon with more information.
The Health Office provides nursing care to Saint John's students and communicates changes in medical status to parents, physicans, and medical personnel to ensure safety and comprehensive healthcare. We maintain confidentiality of medical issues, implement plan of care as directed by physician, administer medications, and assess health status of students.
Below is a list of information and/or documents that will need to be completed online within your son's Magnus Health SMR account. Please review and gather these items in anticipation of the launch date. Your son's Student Medical Record should be completed by August 1.
New Students: Parents and/or Guardians, please contact your son's current school nurse and advise the nurse that your son will be attending Saint John's High School next year. The School Health Record that the nurse maintains will need to be transferred to Saint John's school nurse. These records contain health information that are separate from the academic record.
Physical Examination Form - A VALID PHYSICIAL MUST BE UPLOADED FOR ALL STUDENTS THIS YEAR DUE TO THE LAUNCH OF MAGNUS HEALTH - A valid physical is due upon admission. If your son is participating in athletics, a valid physical is due annually. Physicals are valid for 13 months. We will accept your physician's standard form.
