Dear St. Philip’s Families,
I hope you all are well and were able to enjoy the end of your summer. I am following up on Dr. Harris’ email which you should have received this morning. I am eager to provide you all with important health updates in preparation for the much-anticipated return of students to our campus. Details are listed below:
Magnus Health and Magnus Mobile App
-
If you have not completed the annual health documents, please note that outstanding forms must be submitted no later than September 7th. Students will not be permitted on campus without all of their health forms being up-to-date for this school year. If you are receiving weekly reminders from Magnus Health, it is because your student’s file is incomplete.
-
As mentioned in the Health Policies Handbook, which was sent out on July 30th, all students will be required to complete a two-week symptom and exposure screening prior to returning to campus. You will also be asked to sign and submit the Voluntary Return to Campus Acknowledgement form which must be signed by both parents, when applicable, prior to uploading into Magnus Health.
-
Both of these documents will be accessible today via your child’s Magnus Health account, and must be submitted on the following dates:
-
For students returning to campus the week of September 14th: please begin the two-week screening on Saturday, August 29th (tomorrow).
-
Submit via Magnus Health on Friday, September 11th by 3:00 p.m.
-
For students returning to campus the week of September 21st: please begin the two-week screening on Saturday, September 5th.
-
Submit via Magnus Health on Friday, September 18th by 3:00 p.m.
- Please read the instructions carefully on the documents prior to submission to avoid errors.
-
As part of our drop-off procedures, all families will be required to submit daily health screenings for each student using the Magnus Health Mobile App. Please download the latest version of the Magnus Mobile V2 app on your mobile device - for iPhones, click here; for Androids, click here.
-
The data in the app will be cleared daily. Therefore, you must perform the screening each school day. Students will not be permitted on campus without their daily screening. You will be asked to show your results for each child during your morning drop-offs while in the car queue. Screenings must be submitted by 7:00 a.m. each school day (before your arrival at school).

Medication Drop-offs
If your child will have personal medications at school, you will need to schedule a day to drop off these medications prior to Monday, September 14th. I am the only staff member authorized to receive medications. Please reach out to me directly to schedule.
-
Please ensure that medications come in their labeled prescription bottles/packaging (which should include the student name and prescription information from the pharmacy).
- Medications must match those listed in your child’s prescription order form (submitted via Magnus Health).
- Medications must not be expired.
- Each child taking medication during the day must have his/her own personal supply in the clinic. Sharing among students or siblings will not be permitted.
-
If your child uses an EpiPen (or other ordered epinephrine auto-injector brand), please be sure both injectors are included in your package.
Update on Face Masks/Face Coverings for School
As mentioned in prior communications, appropriate face coverings will be required of all students, faculty, and staff while on campus. See below for more information on our policies regarding face coverings:
