This is the time to review overall school compliance and consider your approach to ensuring that information is secure and flows properly to the appropriate people.  The Annual Checklist should be reviewed each Spring for important steps to take in this process. Consult your Admin Dashboard for the items below.

Annual Checklist

Seasons change…so do staff, phone numbers, and emails. Make sure you review your admin and user information. You may need to add or change the contact information or privileges of your admins and/or users. Archive any users that no longer need access to Magnus. Please be sure that any new admins and/or users have been trained on the system prior to the start of the school year. Reach out to the Magnus Client Services team when a new school user is added to Magnus, we can help with the training and set them up for success!

Now is the time to review your student roster and to verify which students are active and which students are no longer enrolled. You may need to archive, reactivate students, or change trackers. You can archive an entire class year in the Tracker Menu. You may need to archive withdrawn students as well. Archiving students will prevent the ability to track treatment notes on them, so please plan accordingly. If you want to stop emails for withdrawn students during this time, you should update the status for each requirement to “Complete” or add students to a group and exclude them from email reminders.

Review the information in your school profile. Make sure the phone number listed is associated with the staff person who will need to be contacted in the event Magnus needs to direct a parent to the school in situations that warrant such action.

A student must have 1 tracker assigned to them, no more no less. A tracker usually corresponds with the students graduation year or another static value for the student.

Now is the time to review the most effective tool for organizing your students within the system: Trackers. You may be using trackers as your graduating class years, so you will need to add the new incoming class for next year to your account. If your account is integrated with your student information system, new trackers must be added before the sync sends over the new class. Make sure to modify reminder email windows or update deadlines if they have changed.

Groups are similar to Trackers however,they serve as a subset to the trackerand you can add a student into as many or as few groups as you would like.

If applicable, don’t forget to manage your groups; review them to make sure you remove and add students as necessary. At this time you cannot delete a group. If you no longer need a specific group, after you remove all students, you can rename it for later use.  If applicable, be sure the appropriate requirement is associated with the group. If the group was created from a conditional question you may need to clear out the group depending on the question and if the parent will need to answer the question again next year.

Although we’ve significantly lightened your paper load, we probably haven’t quite deprogrammed you from dreading that summer mailing project. So…you must not forget to review your forms! If you need to add a new requirement, form, or update an existing form, you have the tools within the Admin Dashboard. Here is a video walking through how to get your requirement library ready for re-enrollment.

Let’s amp up the power of the Vital Health Record. You have one custom section at your disposal. In this section you can customize questions. You will want to review the guidelines and instructions associated with each section of the VHR. You have the option to use our default language or to customize each of them to speak directly to your parents. Remember, you can also set required fields for each section and a minimum number of entries for Health Providers, Insurance, and Emergency Contacts.

In order to ensure greater compliance, parents will receive reminders during the time frame you have selected from the next action date. Make sure to customize your automatic email reminders.  Note the sample letter linked above. If you need to edit any information for returning parents, it is easy to do so.  Also, consider if any new parents/students need to be added to the system. Any roster files processed by Magnus will incur a fee per import so make sure your technical contact is trained to use the Auto Roster Import feature. You must upload the file according to the required format to avoid account duplication or unauthorized access. Returning parents will use the same username and password from previous years.
