KFL & A Public Health Dental Screening
Secondly, then dental screening helps us to monitor the oral health of children in this region. The monitoring allows KFL & A Public Health to identify the prevalence of dental disease and any new trends in dental disease. The information is used to plan programs and services that best meet the needs of children in our communities. Therefore, even if your child sees a dentist regularly, it is important that they have their teeth screened so that they are included in our monitoring of dental disease in our region.
Ontario Regulation 570 School Health Programs and Services, made under Health Protection and Promotion Act, requires dental screenings each year in all elementary schools. If you do not want your child to be screened this school year, please tell the Health Unit in writing. This letter must include your child's full name, school and grade.

Safe Arrival & Pick Up
Our Buses
Here's a few reminders...
- enter south/west (closest to Hwy 401), exit north/east (closest to Hwy 15) - as usual
- additional parking spaces are by the fence - please park in open parking spaces or on the road (please never park in the bus lane - this is also our emergency vehicle route)
- buses will enter the parking lot single file (so students will not have to go through the parking lot to to embark/disembark)
- student drop off/pick up zone is the area just outside the office windows by the planters - for safety reasons, students and parents may NOT walk in between the buses to get to and from vehicles
- the accessible parking is the first/closest parking space in the lot
