Medical Forms Colleges, summer camps and sport programs often require a copy of your child’s physical examination and immunization records. The Health & Wellness Center recommends that you log in to Magnus now to print a copy of any documents you may need. After July 1, the health records for current sixth-formers will be archived and you will need to call Magnus Health for access.

Boarding Families: Need Summer Storage or Shipping Services?
It’s not too late! Sign up for Dorm Room Movers if you’d like your student's items stored or shipped this summer. Don’t forget to book your pick-up before the trucks on our free-pickup dates all fill up! This is how easy it is:
- They send you boxes and tape.
- You pack.
- They send movers to pick up your belongings.
Trucks have limited capacity, so reserve your spot before it’s too late! Brooks School does not provide moving or storage assistance, but Dorm Room Movers does and they are the official partnered provider for moving, storage and shipping at Brooks School. This is how easy it is: They send you boxes and tape. You pack — that’s it.
