Mandated Dental Exams
By state mandate, ALL students must show evidence of receiving a dental exam during Kindergarten or 1st grade and in 3rd grade. You can have your family dentist complete the required form and return it to the school nurse OR you can have your child evaluated by the school dentist at no cost to you. The dental exam completed by the school dentist is just a screening where the dentist will look at your child's teeth and gums.
If you are having your family dentist complete the exam, here is the Required Dental Form
If you would like the school dentist to complete the exam, please return this dental form to the school nurse.
