Preschool and K-6 will start school in-person on-campus for those who wish to do in-person learning on August 28th; 7th and 8th grade students begin in remote learning format.

Magnus For the upcoming school year, parents will use the Magnus Health Mobile App to complete a daily COVID-19 screening assessment for each SDFAS student easily from a smartphone in just a few clicks. This screening will need to be done every morning, at home, before departure for school. On August 27, 2020, parents will be able to set up a Magnus Health account via FACTS. After activating your Magnus Health account via FACTS you will install the Magnus Health Mobile App on your smartphone. Detailed instructions will follow on Wednesday in the Echo Info – Pré Rentrée. Use of this App will help us create the safest possible environment for your children, our faculty, and staff.
