Excerpt from the High School Learning Plan of Important Changes
NEW- Arts Electives
This year we will be offering OPTIONAL arts electives (formerly SEA block) within the students' regular class schedule. Please fill out this survey in order to assist with scheduling. Students not interested in participating in any of the arts electives need not complete the form. Your child may elect to join one of these classes later in the year if the desired class is available in his/her schedule. Please contact the HS Office if you have further questions.
High School Communications
The majority of school information is sent electronically. Please make sure our High School Administrative Assistant, Stacey Surina, has your most updated email account. Stacey can be contacted by email at stacey.surina@lejardinacademy.org or phone at 261-0707 x1120.
Also make sure to visit our Parent Portal website here to find useful information and to view the following important documents. Updates occur throughout the year so check in often to find the latest information.
Prior to school starting you will receive more information from the High School Office for the 2020-2021 school year, including individual student class lists.
Magnus Health Update
ALL FAMILIES: HEALTH FORMS – CRUCIAL FOR ATTENDANCE Student medical forms should be submitted to Magnus Health through our Parent Portal (lejardinacademy.myschoolapp.com). Deadline is July 28 for all health forms (Grades PK-12). Follow these directions for accessing Magnus Health. If you need additional help logging into Magnus Health, please contact Melissa Handy at support@lejardinacademy.org.
New families should allow 20 to 30 minutes per student to fill out the entire set of forms and upload paper forms as required. Each year, parents will login and confirm or update each child's record. For returning families, most data entered into Magnus previously will only need to be confirmed or updated if changed, including immunizations records.
Health - ALL STUDENTS- Here is a checklist of items that should be uploaded into Magnus:
Health - NEW STUDENTS All new students must submit Student Health Form 14. The Student Health Form 14 record must include a current physical and TB clearance. Hawaii State regulation prohibits attendance without these documents. These forms must be received PRIOR to the first day of school along with evidence of proper immunizations.
For your child's records we use Magnus Health, a web-based system used for managing health records. This system follows internationally recognized security standards and is HIPAA and FERPA compliant. Please feel free to visit the Magnus Health page for Parents: http://magnushealth.com/parents/ and Privacy and Security page at www.magnushealth.com/privacy-and-security/.
New DOE Immunization Requirements Hawaii has updated the immunization requirements for the 2020-2021 school year and now require Human Papillomavirus (HPV), Meningococcal Conjugate (MCV), and Tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis (Tdap) vaccinations to be administered prior to attending Grade 7-12 and before being able to attend school. Once you have obtained the needed immunization please upload the vaccine record for your child/ren to Magnus Health in Myschoolapp.
