Reminder for Parents: Free Eye Exams & Glasses for Kindergarten Students
With Alberta Health covering the cost of eye exams and the program providing free eyeglasses to children who need them, we can help remove obstacles to learning and development.
We hope you will again be able to send the information to your kindergarten parents in early February. The PDF link is below.
Kindergarten Eye See…Eye Learn™ Parent Brochure
As 80% of children’s learning is visual, it is essential to emphasize the importance of scheduling an eye examination for all school aged children, and especially for kindergarten students as they begin their in-school learning years. Early detection and intervention can significantly impact a child's educational journey.

The Canadian Dental Hygienists Association
April is national oral health month! As part of the activities, the Canadian Dental Hygienists Association (CDHA) is hosting our annual Attack the Plaque kids’ colouring contest.
The colouring sheet is attached and we would love for you to circulate it to your elementary and middle schools! For more details, including a downloadable colouring sheet, please visit www.cdha.ca/colouringcontest.
Our theme centres around Tooth Tips for kids. Children’s preventive oral health is an important message, particularly with the launch of the government’s Canadian Dental Care Plan which is allowing many families who don’t have private dental insurance, to have access to essential dental care. Please help us spread this important message to children and their parents.
