Health Services

A full-time Registered Nurse staffs the Health Office during the school day. All medical concerns, first aid and emergency care, medications, and special needs are handled through this office.

As we gear up for the upcoming school year, it is essential to ensure that all our students' health records are up to date and accurately documented. This is especially critical for your son's well-being while at school. Magnus Health, SHPs health management system, aims to streamline the management of health records and provide quick access to important medical information in case of emergencies. It is important to note that Magnus Health is separate from SchoolCare, which is specifically designed for athletics-related health documentation.

You can access Magnus Health by logging on to your SHP parent account and navigating to the Resources board where you will find the Magnus Health tile. Once logged in, you will be prompted to watch a brief instructional video that outlines the process. This video will guide you step-by-step through the Magnus Health platform and help ensure your son’s profile is completed accurately.

Once you have watched the video, please proceed to complete all sections of your son's Magnus Health profile. Required documents include:

Pre-Participation Physical Form: This is a four-page document that needs to be filled out by a healthcare provider. Please ensure that all sections are completed and signed. We require the Pre-Participation Physical Form upon your son’s first year at SHP.
Immunization Record: Make sure to upload a copy of your son's immunization record. This helps us keep track of his vaccination history and ensure he is up to date with all required immunizations. You would need to upload a new immunization record each year only if your son received immunizations since the last record was uploaded
Allergy Forms: If your son has any allergies, please have his physician complete the allergy form provided in the Magnus Health profile. This information is crucial so that I may provide appropriate care in case of an allergic reaction. A new form must be uploaded for each school year.
Prescription Medication Forms: If your son requires prescription medication during school hours, please complete the Medication Authorization Form. This allows me to be aware of his needs and ensures that his medications are administered safely and appropriately. Students are not permitted to self-administer prescription or OTC medications during the school day. A new form must be uploaded for each school year.
EpiPen Authorization: If your son carries an EpiPen for severe allergic reactions, please fill out the authorization form. This allows our staff to administer an EpiPen promptly if needed. A new form must be uploaded for each school year.
Asthma Action Plan - If your son has asthma, please have his physician complete the asthma form provided in the Magnus Health profile. This information is crucial so that I may provide appropriate care. A new form must be uploaded for each school year.
Other conditions - Please contact Mrs. Mitzak if you have any questions regarding forms and where to upload.

Completing your son's Magnus Health profile with accurate and up-to-date information is vital for his safety and well-being while at school. Please have your son’s account completed no later than August 15, 2026. Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated.
