Rising Seniors (Class of 2027) must submit proof of the second dose of the meningococcal conjugate vaccine. Many students receive the second dose on or around their 16th birthday. Please check your student’s health immunization record to ensure this is complete. If the second dose is needed, please schedule this over summer break and upload it to Magnus Health under the Child Health Immunization Form field. 

All Student-Athletes must submit an annual Sports Physical Exam, upload it to Magnus Health, and receive approval from the Wellness Office before they can participate. Sports physicals are good for 13 months. Students and parents must sign the Sports Physical Exam Form. If your child does not participate in athletics, no physical is required.

Please pick up your child's medications from the Wellness Office (epipens, etc.) after their last final. You may also give permission for medications to go home with your child by emailing sanderson@sfhscollegeprep.org. Medications not picked up are disposed of; they may not stay in the Wellness Office over the summer.

We are asking every family to participate in our Annual Parent Pledge - please complete the form in mySFHS asap and no later than Friday, May 8.

Many are surprised to learn that tuition covers only 80% of the actual cost to educate a student. This leaves a "gap" of $3,600 per student—a space filled every year by the generous donations of parents, alumni, and friends. Your pledge isn't just a donation; it’s an investment that reaches our classrooms directly, providing the resources our faculty and students need to excel.

Completing your pledge is simple:

1. Log in to mySFHS.
2. Click the yellow banner at the top of your account page.
3. Note you only need to submit one form per family.

Registration is now open for SFHS Summer Camps, featuring a wide variety of programs for students in grades 1–12! Click here to learn more.
