Northland Families,
We are pleased to announce that for the upcoming school year, we will be shifting all student medical information to an online database. There are many benefits to this change including less paperwork for parents to complete each year and having more accurate information that is accessible to parents and the appropriate employees at our school. The management system we have adopted is called Magnus Health SMR (Student Medical Record). As this is a web-based system, you will have continuous access to your child’s health record as well as the ability to easily make updates when needed. You will also have the option to access the account after your child graduates.
Timely submission of health information and other forms is vital so that preparations can be made to care for your student. You will receive weekly reminders as long as there are outstanding items in your account. Please reserve 20 to 30 minutes per child, depending on particular circumstances. The good news is that you will not have to repeat this work next year: the data is securely stored, so going forward you will simply provide updates to the record as needed.
We are excited that the Magnus system will also be able to handle field trip permission forms, handbook acknowledgement forms and any other school-related forms.
To access your Magnus Health SMR account:
You will receive an email on August 2
nd
providing your username and asking you to create a password to access your child(ren)’s Magnus Health SMR account.
You can also go to the website and click on the button titled “Magnus Health SMR Portal.”
Thank you for your patience and participation as we launch this program this year.
Please plan to complete Magnus forms for each enrolled child by August 16
