Dear Parents/Guardians:
The month of February is designated as National Children’s Dental Health Month. In an effort to promote and encourage dental health, third grade students in North East Independent School District have the opportunity to participate in the Annual Dental Screening Program. There is no charge for the dental screening. This is a visual screening only. The dentist will wear latex-free gloves and a face mask. No x-rays will be taken. After the screening, you will receive a report from the dentist regarding the status of your child’s dental health. In addition, educational classroom activities such as proper brushing, flossing, and dental care will be presented.
If you DO NOT want your child to participate in the dental screening, please fill out the Dental Screening Refusal form and return to your child’s school nurse.
