Attention All Kindergarten and 2nd Grade Parents!
Just a reminder that kindergarten and 2nd grade students are required to submit a dental exam by May 15, 2018. Please see attached flyer for an opportunity at College of DuPage Dental Hygiene Clinic on February 2 for students to have a dental exam. A second opportunity will be at Lincoln in April when the DuPage County Health Department (DCHD) will have their dental clinic in the building. Information will be provided in March for signing up for the DCHD clinic. If you have any questions or want to verify that you have turned in an exam for your student please contact the Health Office at 630-682-2075.
