Note from Nurse Jamie
The Children’s Clinic Dental staff will be returning to Irving School to complete their work on the student’s who were not seen last month. The dates of the second session are May 29th, May 30th and May 31st. All remaining students will receive their dental exams, dental cleanings and sealants at this time. The Children’s Clinic staff reports that 161 students at Irving will be provided dental care which is the highest number the clinic has ever serviced. Thank you for your patience.  Also, for current fifth graders, this dental exam can be turned in for the state required sixth grade dental exam.
