Health Center
- For the 2025/2026 school year, your child’s healthcare provider must complete the annual physical exam and immunization form using the State of Connecticut Department of Education Health Assessment Record form. Please note, Rumsey Hall follows CT State Immunization Guidelines.
- For the 2025/2026 school year, we will be using Magnus Health, where you’ll need to set up an account and upload health forms. In mid-June, you will receive an email inviting you to log in to Magnus Health and upload your child’s required health forms. We ask that all forms be completed by August 4, 2025.
- IMPORTANT: If your child will be taking medication at school, and you have not yet spoken with the Health Center, please do so as soon as possible at healthcr@rumseyhall.org or 860-868-0535 (extensions 153 or 154). Setting up medication management can take several weeks, and we are here to guide you through it.
- MEDICATION DELIVERY: Medication delivery (prescriptions, supplements, and over-the-counter items) through Kent Station Pharmacy is required for all boarding students. Medications will be delivered directly to the Health Center. Here’s how to set it up:
- Step 1: Your child’s U.S. prescriber (doctor) must send the prescription to Kent Station Pharmacy.
- Step 2: Parents must create an account with Kent Station Pharmacy and provide a form of payment on file. (Rumsey Hall does not handle medication payments.)
- Step 3: Complete a Medication Authorization Form for each medication. (One form is required for each medication, even vitamins or over-the-counter items.)
