Cannon School continues to partner with Magnus Health to collect and securely store your student’s health and medical information.  Magnus is also where Cannon stores all required athletic and medical forms.  Parents can use the Magnus web portal or the Magnus Mobile App to complete all forms, fill in student health information, and upload forms that need a signature.

Once Magnus is open for the 2025-26 school year (approximately mid-July), you will begin to receive reminder notifications from Magnus Health alerting you that action must be taken on your student’s account. These reminder notifications list any incomplete requirements as well as any existing requirements that will expire and need to be updated.

• We ask that you enter the required health information for each student’s Magnus Health Record (SMR-Student Medical Record) no later than Thursday, July 31, 2025. Timely submission of health information and all required forms is vital to be in compliance with NC laws and to assure everyone is prepared for your child’s first day of school.
• Students who do not have a completed Vital Health Record will not be allowed to attend the overnight class trips. The nurses must have the basic health information on each child to help our teachers and deans safely care for our students on the trips.
