News from the Nurse: Physical Examinations and Immunizations Required for 2017-18

Now is the time for  all MS/US parents to update their childrens’ health forms for 2017-18.  If your child is enrolled for the next school year, please sign into the Parent Portal, scroll down, and click on the Health Forms link.  When you log in you will need to click on each child’s name to see what forms are required for their  upcoming grade level. Please note that the forms must be submitted online via Magnus Health. No paper health forms will be accepted at the School.

Annual Physical Exams: All students are required to have an annual physical exam during the 12-month period immediately preceding the first day of the school year. You will receive an automated email reminder directly from Magnus Health 7 weeks prior to the expiration of the physical examination.   A DC Universal Health Certificate must be completed and signed by a health care practitioner and submitted to the School via the Parent Portal by clicking on the Health Forms link.

If you find that you will not be able to furnish the School with an updated Health Certificate by the expiration date of the last physical examination, you may have the health care practitioner write a note indicating that your child “is cleared to participate in physical and other school related activities until next physical exam scheduled on….” This note will suffice until that scheduled physical exam is completed.  Once completed, the Health Certificate should be submitted via the Parent Portal by clicking on the Health Forms link.

Immunizations:  In accordance with DC law, all students must submit documentation that they have been vaccinated against specific illnesses before the school year begins.  Tdap, Meningitis and HPV immunizations are required by the D.C. Department of Health for students 11 years and older entering 6th through 12th grades.

No student will be allowed to attend School without a Certificate of Immunization unless the student has been exempted in accordance with law. In order for a student to be exempted from providing certification of immunization, parents must submit a completed religious or medical exemption form on an annual basis to Magnus Health, via the Parent Portal by clicking on the Health Forms link.
