Dental Screening
Dear Parents/Guardians:
Lucy Charbonneau, a registered dental hygienist with
Ottawa Public Health, will provide a dental screening using a tongue depressor
on April 9 & 10, 2015*, for grades JK, SK, 2, and other children
as necessary. If your child’s grade is not selected, but you wish for the
dental hygienist to see him/her, please advise the school. Only children
identified as having dental needs will bring home a form. Follow-up school
visits by the dental hygienist for individual children may be done. THIS
DOES NOT REPLACE REGULAR DENTAL VISITS WITH YOUR FAMILY DENTIST.
* Some date(s) may be subject to change
