Immunizations and Health Records

St. Patrick’s requires that all students maintain age appropriate vaccinations, as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and as required by District of Columbia law. Students shall not be permitted to attend school unless St. Patrick’s has on file the appropriate documents demonstrating that they are fully immunized in accordance with the law or that they are subject to an exemption from immunization. The full statement of St. Patrick’s Immunization Policy is available from the Health Office.
 

District of Columbia law requires that these forms be completed and on file prior to the start of school. Therefore, no child may attend school at St. Patrick’s without completed forms on file. Every child must also have on file an Authorization for Child’s Emergency Medical Treatment.

St. Patrick’s uses an electronic student health records management system, Magnus Health. All student health records must be submitted directly to Magnus—and can be accessed by parents—through the Magnus Health Portal available on the St. Patrick’s website. Parents can access Magnus through the Parent Zone or by the Parent Portal using their username and password. Established confidentiality standards (HIPAA) will require you to log in again once you have clicked on the Magnus Health Portal. Parents must access and submit the required forms via the Magnus Health Portal in a manner that is consistent with the requirements above. If any information changes during the school year—especially emergency contact information— parents are responsible for making those changes promptly in both the Parent Portal and the Magnus Health Portal.
