Dental Health Certificates

As a part of your child’s requirements for school, a physical examination has been required
for students in Pre kindergarten or Kindergarten and in Grades 2, 4, 7 and 10. A law was
recently enacted that expands health screenings to include the dental health of students
in New York State. 

After September 1, 2008, when we require that your child have a physical examination,
we will be requesting a dental certificate as well.  There is a sample certificate available
for you to take to your child’s dentist and once it is completed, it should be returned to
the School Nurse as it will be filed in your child’s Cumulative Health Record.

Below is a list of dental care providers and/ or clinics that will provide dental screenings
for free of at a reduced cost.

Thank you for your cooperation in this new health endeavor.  Our students benefit when
we work together to promote the health and achievement of all students.

Please call the school’s Health Office if you have any questions or concerns.
