IS ANXIETY KEEPING YOUR CHILD OUT OF SCHOOL?

LA CLINICA HAPPY SMILES FORM

Your child will be bringing home a La Clinica Happy Smiles Permission Form for dental sealants and fluoride treatments (blue form). Please take a moment to review the information, complete the form, and return it to the school by Friday, October 2.

We appreciate your partnership in helping support your child’s dental health and wellness!

DISMISSAL PLANS CHANGE?

We know plans can change! If your child’s afterschool plans change, the school office must be notified by 1:30 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday, or by 12:00 p.m. on Wednesday so we have time to notify your child and teacher.

For safety and a smooth dismissal, last-minute changes cannot be made at dismissal time. Please also make sure anyone picking up your child is listed on their emergency contact/release list.

Thank you for helping us keep dismissal safe and running smoothly!
