Dear Parents,
Suffield Academy uses the Magnus Health Student Medical Record (SMR) to collect student health information for all students. Magnus Health SMR is a secure and easy-to-use website for submitting health information. Parents of new students will receive an email in June providing a username and password to access your child’s Magnus Health SMR account. Parents of returning students will continue to use their current login information.
We request that all forms be faxed to Magnus or electronically uploaded to their website or mobile app. As a last resort, forms can be mailed or faxed to Suffield Academy’s Health Center. We kindly request that you use the uploading process as much as possible.
Forms that must be downloaded, completed, and signed by your child’s physician(s) are below.
Once you have your login information you can also access these forms via the Magnus Health website. Additionally, you have the option to download the Magnus Health app with your established account—we highly recommend utilizing the mobile app to complete your child’s health forms.
Please note the following forms are required annually:
Physical Exam within one year
Required Immunizations Suffield Academy follows Connecticut state requirements for immunizations
Tuberculosis Risk Assessment required for domestic students only
Tuberculosis Medical Evaluation required for international students only
Suffield Academy requires that your child is fully vaccinated for COVID-19 with primary series and appropriate booster.
You may receive email reminders from Magnus Health during the summer regarding forms that are not yet submitted. Once you submit the information requested the reminders will stop.
You can always update your child’s medical history and are encouraged to do so whenever applicable. Magnus is a helpful tool that increases security while collecting and maintaining health information, as well as providing secure access to your child’s information in the event of an emergency. By providing us with the required information you help us provide timely, appropriate, and safe care to your child.
Please contact me at the Health Center if you have any questions about the health forms or the above process.
Sincerely,
Rachel Smetana ’99, MS,RN
