Parents/guardians must complete a daily COVID-19 self-assessment for each child via Magnus Mobile before leaving home. Members of the faculty and staff must also complete the self-assessment, the COVID-19 Daily Health Survey, which serves as a daily health baseline for the child or adult prior to entering the school each morning. Magnus provides the following directions:
1. Login to the Magnus Mobile V2 App for Apple or the Magnus Health App for Android on your mobile device by using Keychain, a password manager, or typing in your username and password.
2. If you have multiple students, select the first student you are completing the Daily Survey for by clicking that student’s name.
3. Select the COVID-19 button in the bottom center of your screen.
4. Select the Daily Survey, which will have a message stating the Requirement is Incomplete under it.
5. Once you are in the Daily Survey, review the message at the top of the screen for additional directions if your school has added additional directions.
6. Complete each question in the Daily Survey by either choosing a Yes/No answer or filling in the blank answer box relative to the question.
7. Once you have completed all the questions on the Daily Survey, select Save at the bottom of the screen.
8. Once you select Save, you will be brought to the screen that has the answers you provided and either a Stop or Go message and icon at the top of the screen. If you see a Stop response, your student should not go to school and you should follow the directions provided below the Stop sign, if there are any. If you see a Go response, your student is appropriate for school and you should follow the directions below the Go sign, if there are any.
9. Click the OK button at the bottom of the screen once you have reviewed your results and the Stop or Go sign.
No child will be admitted to the school without this form being completed and submitted by 7:30 AM. Faculty and staff must complete the survey by 7:15 AM. Infant-Toddler Center caregivers must complete the survey by 7:15 AM. In order to enable families to become accustomed to the Magnus Mobile COVID-19 Daily Survey, we ask parents/guardians to begin submitting the form on September 1.
Having completed the COVID-19 Daily Health Survey for each child, parents/guardians must take a screenshot of the “Go” screen to display as verification to the member of the faculty and staff who is monitoring compliance at arrival carpool. It is the responsibility of students who are walking, biking, or taking the bus to school to provide that verification to the appropriate individual.
