No deductibles are collected.   We are looking forward to Smile Partners come after spring break to provide their dental services to improve our oral health. Consent forms will go home in the middle of March, and should be returned no later than March 28, 2013.  Dental screenings will take place on April 8, 2013, and an oral health report with treatment plan options to be sent home with your child on this day.  You can decide to have the work done by signing the treatment form and returning  it on April 9, 2013.  No deductibles are collected.

For each AR test completed and passed, students earn AR points.  Each grade level has a specific amount of points their goal is to earn for the school year.  If students reach their AR points goal, they get to attend an AR party at the end of the year.  To find out if a book is an AR book click the following link.
