Back-to-School Registration

To update your family's demographic information on your Household Profile, using your Bear Creek username and password, log in on the Parent Portal. Then click the "My Profile" button on the Parent Portal home screen or "My Profile" at the top navbar of the Parent Portal.

Note to parents of new students: Your Bear Creek credentials have not changed. Log in using the same username and password you used to access the Admission Portal.

Follow these instructions to update your Household Profile. Read the Frequently Asked Questions if you have questions about a specific instruction. Save each card as you review and update your information.

Please note: Submitted and saved updates do not appear immediately, but will be sent to the student information system manager for processing. Updates will be reflected on your Household Profile within 1 – 2 business days.

1. In the Family Information section,
   1. Review and update your address and personal contact information. Each parent must provide a mobile phone number for emergencies.
   2. Review and update your employer(s) and job title(s).
   3. Review and update your child(ren)'s preferred name(s) and contact information. Unique email addresses are needed for each student in grades 5 – 12. Cell phone numbers are helpful for Upper School students so they may receive emergency notifications. More details are on the Household Profile.
2. In the Household Contacts section, click Contacts for My Children. Add or edit individual contacts and authorize them to pick up your child(ren) at the end of the school day by checking the appropriate boxes.
3. In the Grandparents section, review your children's grandparent contact information. At the beginning of every school year we send Grizzly Grams to all our students' grandparents (P – 12), providing them an opportunity to send their grandchildren a back-to-school message. Grandparents also receive Modus Vivendi, our twice-yearly school magazine. To ensure your parents receive these mailings, be sure to provide or update their information on your Household Profile.
4. Review your household and individual password-protected portal Directory Preferences. Student contact information is not listed in the online directory.

All our school release and consent agreements are signed online in our health portal. You will find requirements for school health and immunization records, field trips, publicity, computer and internet use, photo and video sharing, and more. You may complete the To-Do Lists for all your children prior to proceeding to Step #3.

Magnus Health

All student medical information and Back-to-School Registration forms are managed through Magnus Health, an online health and requirement management platform. Tracking compliance for each requirement on your child(ren)'s To-Do List(s) is straightforward. Just complete each requirement with the little "To Do" flag. Magnus Health gives parents continuous access to each child’s health record as well as the ability to make updates when needed. You will also have the option to access the account after your child graduates.

In Your Browser

From the Parent Portal, parents may use the Health Portal button to open Magnus Health in a new tab without logging in again.

From the school website (www.tbcs.org), parents will use their Bear Creek username and password (usually firstname.lastname) to log in to Bear Creek's health portal. These are the same credentials you use to log in to the MyBC/Parents page and enable you to access the Parent Portal (Veracross). All the links to the health portal on our website (www.tbcs.org) are authenticated by Veracross so parents don't have to remember an additional set of credentials.

Health Portal

1. Confirm you are using a supported browser, especially that your browser has a built-in reader so you can preview all the agreements prior to signing them.
   • If electronically-signed requirements don't open in the preview window on the signature page, check your system settings and ensure that the browser is your default app for PDF files. If you still don't see the agreements in the preview window on the signature page, then use Chrome.
2. If you are new to Magnus Health, we strongly urge you to watch the 3-minute video tutorial. 
3. On the Front Desk, parents will see each child enrolled at Bear Creek listed. For each child, answer the conditional questions and then complete all the requirements on the Student Health Tracker To-Do List. Read the Frequently Asked Questions if you have questions about a specific requirement.
   • All requirements are completed and signed online.
   • If electronically-signed requirements don't open in the preview window on the signature page, check your system settings and ensure that the browser is your default app for PDF files. If you still don't see the agreements in the preview window on the signature page, then use Chrome.
   • A few requirements (those requiring a physician's or student's signature) should be printed, signed, and uploaded.
   • You may upload scanned documents in your browser or use the mobile app (see below). Do not mail, email, or drop off paper forms to/at Bear Creek.
4. If you have questions or problems using Magnus Health (browser or app), please contact their Help Desk via service@magnushealthportal.com, 877-461-6831, or using the chat option from their Need Help menu.
5. Finally, after your child graduates, his/her records are archived; however, parents may get access by calling the Magnus Health end user support team (877-461-6831). They will grant parents temporary access to their child's account so that parents can review and download documents for a certain period of time. Parents may also request to receive a specific record (e.g., immunization form) by fax/email.

Using the Mobile App

If you want to use Magnus Health's mobile app to upload images of signed paper forms (certificate of immunization, sports physical, medication authorization, Form I-20 student living arrangements, background check disclosure, and driver acknowledgement), or complete other requirements on the Student Health Tracker To-Do List, follow these instructions:

1. From the school website (www.tbcs.org), log in to Bear Creek's new secure health portal using your Bear Creek credentials. These are the same credentials you use to log in to the MyBC/Parents page and enable you to access the Parent Portal (Veracross). All the links to the health portal on our website (www.tbcs.org) are authenticated by Veracross so parents don't have to remember an additional set of credentials. Magnus Health will open in a new tab. Alternately, from the Parent Portal (Veracross), just use the Health Portal button to open Magnus Health in a new tab without logging in again.
2. On the health portal, ensure you are on the "Front Desk" and then hover over your name.
3. Choose "Change Credentials."
4. Create a username and password (recommend keeping the same as Bear Creek credentials). This username and password combination will be used as your mobile app login only. You will always use your Bear Creek credentials to log in to the health portal using the links on Bear Creek's website (see above).
   • A few parents may encounter an error because their Bear Creek usernames are already in use by Magnus Health. If this happens, please select another convenient username.

      

5. Watch this video tutorial about how to use the mobile app.
6. Download the "Magnus Mobile V2" app from the Apple's App Store or Google Play. Ensure you have version 21.05.26 or later.
7. Log in to the app using your newly-created username and password.
8. If you have more than one child enrolled at Bear Creek, select his/her name.
9. Click the Student Health Tracker button to complete To-Do List requirements on your phone or tablet.
