As you know, King School partners with Magnus Health to store, collect and manage all of your child’s health in one secure online location. The partnership with Magnus Health allows King to ultimately provide more efficient and consistent health care services to your child.
In late-June you will receive an email notification from King School as a reminder to update your child’s profile in Magnus. After you receive this email, you will begin receiving weekly email reminders from Magnus Health, called “Magnus Health Alerts” until you you to complete the annual submission process for the vital health information, including all medical and athletic requirements and forms.
Please note, you have access to Magnus Health at anytime. You do not have to wait until you begin receiving Magnus Health Alerts to update your child’s health information.
1. Process for Login and Completion of Health Information
To access Magnus, first login to MyKing. Once logged in, click on the Magnus Health button on the Resources page.
You should be directly connected to your Magnus Health portal. If you are not automatically connected, please contact the
help@kingschoolct.org.
NEW FAMILIES: Upon logging into Magnus for the first time, you will need to go through the process of setting up your children in the Magus Health System. Once they have been added, this information will be stored for future use.
Please see the tab on this page below to access a quick Magnus tutorial under “Magnus - First Time User.”
2. Deadline for Completion: August 1
All items in Magnus need to be 100% complete and approved before students can start school and/or participate in athletics.
Please note:
- Many returning students may already meet the requirements for physicals/immunization records. In this case, you will clearly see a next “action date” that will indicate when you need to update your information. Alternatively, some returning students may have physicals/immunization records that are past due.
- Some items require you to complete a form. Any applicable forms can be easily downloaded in the Magnus Health Portal, next to the requirement under the “Black Form” column.
- Completed forms can be scanned into the Magnus system or sent directly to Magnus Health via fax or mail. Please do not send any forms to King.
3. Physical Examination/Health Assessment Record Requirements
The requirements for Physical Examinations/Immunization Records are clearly delineated in the “Approval Guidelines” found in your Magnus Student Health Tracker. Connecticut State Law requires all NEW students and all students ENTERING PRE-K, KINDERGARTEN and GRADES 6 and 9 to submit a physical within ONE YEAR of start of school. The form we use at King is the State of Connecticut Health Assessment Record (this can be downloaded from Magnus).
For your information, King also requires a physical examination/Health Assessment Record every 13 months for students participating in athletics (Grades 7-12).
4. Medication Requirements
All the requirements for medication in school (including those students with life threatening allergies) can be found in the “Approval Guidelines” next to the Medication Authorization section in Magnus. Please note:
- Each medication that will be needed in school, including over-the-counter or prescription, must have a Medication Authorization form completed in its entirety by the health care practitioner and parent and submitted as instructed in Magnus. The form can be downloaded in Magnus.
- All medication needs to be delivered to the Nurse’s Office by a parent or guardian in the original, unopened package or original prescription container with label.
- The school does not have any “stock” medication and we are not able to administer any medication (including Tylenol, Advil, etc.) without a completed authorization form and medication supplied by parent.
