Health & Wellness

Report illness or injury and return to school protocol:
If a student becomes ill, is injured, or needs medication during the school day, they must report to the school Health Room. If necessary, a school nurse will make arrangements for a parent or guardian to pick up their student. Ill or injured students who wish to leave school must check out through the Health Room.

Sick Day Guidelines:
Medication administration at school and while on field trips:

• Students may not possess medications of any kind on campus without the permission of the school nurse and a prescribed medication form signed by their physician. Any student requiring over-the-counter and/or prescribed medication to be administered during the school day must have submitted the over-the-counter medication or prescription medication form, signed by the student’s physician and their parent or guardian, to their child's Student Medical Record.

• Students attending a school-sponsored overnight field trip requiring daily medication administration must have an over-the-counter medication or prescription medication form on file in Magnus signed by a physician. Upper School students may self-administer prescribed medications with the approval of the parent. If you would like a chaperone to administer the medication contact the Health Room nurses for instruction.
