Dear St. Philip’s Families,
We are all looking forward to having the students back on campus very soon! I wanted to send you a list of final reminders for your return. Please see below:
Magnus Health & Magnus Mobile App
Please be sure to submit all required Magnus Health documents by this Friday, September 11th, in order for your students to be able to attend school in person during the week of Monday, September 14th. Any students with incomplete Magnus accounts will not be permitted to attend school in person. This includes the COVID-19 two-week return-to-school screening form and the acknowledgement form.
For students beginning in-person learning on September 21st, please hold off on submitting your two-week screening form until next Friday, September 18th in order to complete the full two weeks of symptom screening, which began on Saturday, September 5th.
Please remember to download the Magnus Mobile V2 app onto your phone. (For iPhones use this link; for Androids, use this link.
) For more information on how to use this app, please refer to my letter from Friday, August 28th. You will be required to submit this every school day by 7:00 a.m. If you receive a “GO” message, your child is permitted to attend school that day. If you receive a “STOP” message, please keep your child home and refer to our Health Policies Handbook for guidance on when he/she may return to campus. All staff participating in drop-off will have a full list of students who have submitted their daily screening. If your child’s name is not on our list, they will not be able to attend school in person at that time.
Need to practice with the Magnus Mobile app prior to your return to campus?
Beginning today, you will have access to the COVID-19 screening feature on your mobile device. Feel free to practice today and tomorrow to familiarize yourself with how it works.
What should my child bring to school?
- One small bag or backpack to keep in their cubby or by their desk
- One reusable water bottle labeled with your child’s name - Water fountains will only have the bottle filling station functional this year. Please make sure to send your child with a clean water bottle each day
-
Face Masks - As stated in previous letters and meetings, face masks will be required. Please refer to the Friday, August 28th letter for specifics on our face mask policies. We recommend that you pack a backup for your child
- Lanyards or other hanging or clip-on devices will not be permitted
- We have made arrangements for mask storage during meals, recess and PE
Medical Task Force Town Hall
Tonight, from 7:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m., our Medical Task Force will be hosting a town hall. If you would like to join, please use this link to register.
I hope you all enjoy this upcoming weekend. We are all looking forward to welcoming our younger students back on campus on Monday. Please be on the lookout for an email from Dr. Harris tomorrow with additional campus readiness details, followed by an email from Mr. Diaz, arriving Sunday, with final drop-off and pick-up reminders.
Sincerely,
