Principal's Message by Alex Ramsvig, HS Principal
July 30, 2020
Aloha All,
I hope to see many of you for our information night, August 3rd at 6PM via zoom. Please preregister here. Of course, I am always delighted to speak with students or families individually to discuss specifics. At the start of the school year you will also have a number of opportunities to feel more comfortable and connected with the high school including: back to school parent nights (details forthcoming), personal invite to set up a time to speak with our teachers as well as parent training for Managebac and Google classroom.

Lindsey Schiffler HS Dean of Academics & DP Coordinator
Aloha parents, guardians, students, and community members:
The first day of school usually brings excitement and a bit of nervousness. Such emotions are more likely this year, considering students have not been in LJA classrooms since March. Our faculty members are cognizant of this, and thus, will be responsive to the various needs of our students. Parent communication – from teachers, Mr. Ramsvig, and myself – will be a critical component of this responsiveness. If you have questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to any of us. Next week, I will introduce one new component of our 10-day schedule called Impact Block. Until then, enjoy the rest of summer break. Mahalo!
Lindsey
Introducing LJA's New MYP Coordinator/Dean of Academics
Dear Parents and Students of Le Jardin Academy,
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.
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.
