Magnus Health
RETURNING STUDENTS: Log in to your child’s Magnus Health account and update your child’s forms. Students with medical conditions need a new care plan signed and uploaded to their Magnus Health account. Students taking any medications at school (including any medications given during the school day regularly or as needed) will need a new medication authorization form completed, signed by parent/guardian, and dated. Please make sure you complete one form per medication. Emergency medications (i.e., EpiPens and inhalers) require a medication authorization form to be completed at the beginning of every new school year.
NEW STUDENTS: Instead of paper forms for your child’s health records, we utilize Magnus Health Student Medical Records, which is part of the FACTS family. Please reserve 20-30 minutes per child for the initial account setup, depending on particular circumstances. Data is securely stored, so going forward, you will simply provide updates to records as needed. Step-by-step login instructions can be found on the Parent Dashboard.
Access your Magnus Health SMR (Student Medical Record) Account:
1. Log in to FACTS
2. Select: Student > Medical > Magnus Health Login

Sage Dining - Allergy Free Meals Offered Daily
At Silverdale, we have 101 students (K-12th) with a food allergies and 23 of those kids have a life threatening food allergies. We take food allergies very seriously and want to keep each other as safe as best as possible.
While Sage (our dining services) continues to be completely "nut-free", they have taken an additional step this year to keep our students safe from their food allergens.
