The Board of Education recognizes the importance of good oral hygiene for all children and recommends that your child has regular periodic complete dental examinations by your private dentist ideally every six months, but at least upon entrance to school and again in grades, K, 2, 4, 7, and 10.  If you wish to provide a certificate of dental examination for inclusion in your child’s permanent health record which is saved until your child is 27 years old, please submit or have your dentist submit the completed certificate to your school nurse.
