The Post Oak School uses Magnus, a web-based system for forms management to give parents continuous access to their child’s health records. There are several forms that must be received before a student may attend class at the beginning of the school year. Once you have completed the initial setup in Magnus, future years will only require updates and less time to complete.

• Questions? Contact technology@postoakschool.org. 
• Technical issues with Magnus? Contact Magnus helpdesk.

Read more about Magnus in our Family Handbook.

The school has implemented Raptor, a visitor registration system that enhances school security by reading visitors’ driver’s licenses, comparing information to a sex offender database, alerting campus administrators if a match is found, and (assuming no match was made) printing a visitor badge that includes a photo. Raptor provides a consistent system to track visitors while also protecting our students.

All visitors to the school must present a valid state or government-issued photo identification card to the receptionist. If there is no match, the system will print a visitor’s pass, which includes the person’s name, photo, date of visit, and destination within the building. Parents need only to present their ID once, and on subsequent visits their names will be entered manually to create a visitor badge. No additional data will be shared with any outside company or organization.

We're excited to offer all students a Post Oak T-shirt this school year. Please fill out the form below with your child(ren)'s details. Go Bearkats!

Volunteering helps you connect with other members of the Post Oak community and get a better understanding of your child’s educational environment. Volunteering is good for you, good for your child, and good for the school! Please join us by filling out the form below.

There are two directories to support our High School students, kept by the High School college counselor and faculty. The first directory lists the colleges and universities attended by Post Oak parents or guardians so that students interested in attending those schools can reach out with questions. The second directory lists parents and guardians who could accommodate a High School intern from Post Oak at their place of business.

Our annual Post Oak Parents Association (POPA) Welcome Dinner is Tuesday, September 10, 2019, at Cohen House, Rice University.

Meet, mix, and mingle with other parents at this kick-off to another great school year. This adults-only event includes dinner, drinks, and great company. This is not a fundraiser: ticket price covers the cost of the event, and underwriting pays for faculty attendance. Tickets are $65 (fair market value) per person. Look for the invitation in late August and information in the Post Highlights weekly email. We hope to see you there!

RSVP for POPA Dinner

Chairs: Post Oak parents Erinn Boyle and Sandhya Sabhnani

Reading between the Wines!

This informal and fun parent group reads books related to parenting teens(!), and gets together to discuss and enjoy a glass of wine. This is a "no stress" book club—read the book if you have time, or don't if you want to hear about it from others—just come ready to share thoughts and laugh a little. Oct. 10, Jan. 16, Mar. 25, 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. Location: in the Middle School building at 1010 Autrey.

At the start of the school year, we send out this handy overview of important topics from the (let's call it information-packed) Family Handbook. Of course, you're going to read that, but this booklet gives you a few bites before sitting down to the feast.

Download the Quickview

The Family Handbook is a good reference for new and returning families, especially those transitioning to a new level or moving over to the Museum District Campus.
