Re:  Dental Screening

Dear Parents of Freshman Students and out of state transfer students:

Legislation was passed by the State of Iowa, effective July 1, 2008, requiring all children entering Kindergarten, ninth grade and transferring students from out of state to have a dental screening.  The purpose of the dental screening is to improve the oral health of Iowa’s children.

Attached is the required Certificate of Dental Screening form.  A screening completed within one year prior to August 4, 2008 is acceptable.  So, if your child has recently been to the dentist please take this form back there for him/her to sign.  Completed forms should be returned to me at school.

If financial assistance is needed or assistance is needed please call the numbers below or call me at 222-1027.

Sincerely

Linda Manning, RN, BSN
