Preparing for School Year 2022-2023

Once a student is enrolled through the Admission Office they may begin the course registration process. Returning students will registered for courses in the spring of the previous year. New students will register for courses with the help of Academic Dean Kelley Black beginning in late June. Students may be asked to take a placement test for math and languages.

Questions? Contact Sandy Glacet, Assistant to the Academic Dean and Registrar.

SAS contracts with MAGNUS Health to handle all student medical records. Once a child is enrolled, an email is sent to the family with instructions for completing this process. Students are required to have an annual physical exam. Required health forms include:

• Updated immunizations (to be signed by health care provider). Required immunizations are based on American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations.
• Annual Physical exam (to be signed by health care provider).
• Front and back copy of current insurance card and pharmacy card if applicable.
• State required sudden cardiac arrest information form and release
• Release to play sports (to be signed by health care provider).
• Vital health record (health history).
• Release for over the counter medications and consent to treat.
• Other forms requiring electronic signature based on your answers to some questions about asthma food allergies, diabetes, or seizures.

Before July 1, you should complete all Magnus forms which can be completed on-line.

The Physical Exam, Participation in Sports form and Immunization forms must be downloaded from the MAGNUS website under your students' account. These forms should be completed by your health care provider and scanned, faxed, or mailed back directly to MAGNUS. They are due one week after the anniversary of your student's last physical exam. (For example if the last physical was done 9-2-19 this year's physical, sports and immunizations are due by 9-9-20).

To return your forms via a mobile device:

1. Access your Magnus account from your mobile device's web browser
2. Click Complete Now beside your student's name
3. Choose the requirement that you need to complete
4. Select Turn it In
5. Choose the Upload option button
6. Then snap a photo of your document. You will be able to view that document by clicking View Answer.

Please be sure that you have updated your mobile device. For Android users, you will need 4.4 version or higher. For iOS users, you will need version 5 or higher.

The quality of the photo depends upon the device you are using and not something that Magnus Health can troubleshoot at this time. You may need to adjust settings, contrast, or lighting.

Questions? Contact service@magnushealthportal.com or 1.877.461.6831. Student health questions should be directed to the SAS Health Center or 931.598.5651, ext. 2126.

COVID NOTE: 

All students must have a completed and submitted Vaccine Status Declaration and Testing Waiver before returning to campus. 

If your child is vaccinated, please upload a copy of their vaccination card to MAGNUS or fax it to our Health Clinic, 931-914-1224. 

Textbooks

Families are expected to purchase their child's books from MBS Direct before the school year begins. The MBS Direct online bookstore will open Monday, July 25. Boarding students may have books shipped directly to the school. Only books purchased through MBS will be eligible for buy-back at the end of the school year. If you order books from another source please be vigilant about ordering the same edition/version because otherwise the pagination is different. This makes it difficult for students to be sure they are reading the right pages.  

Technology

St. Andrew’s-Sewanee has a “Bring Your Own Technology” (BYOT) program for Upper School students. Upper School students will be responsible for providing their own devices, compatible with G Suite for school.

Trying to decide whether or what kind of electronic devices to bring to campus? Perhaps this will help.

Supply Lists

School supplies are available in the school store. Boarding students will have scheduled van runs for shopping.

Please note that non-marking tennis shoes should be worn in the gym. This would include PE class and pick-up games.

Here are answers to the questions most often asked as move in day approaches. The answers are provided by our Dean of Students and his panel of experts, students just like you who were once facing those first days with curiosity and a little nervousness.
