Updates for this week
First Tee: First Tee will continue this week after school. Students need to be picked up promptly at 5:30. Note the dates for Fall session of First Tee: 8/28, 9/4, 9/11, 9/18, 9/25, 10/23, 10/30 and 11/6. Please confirm your child’s participation in First Tee with their teacher.
Kindergarten Dental Screenings: Annually, our School Health Dental Hygienist looks for healthy smiles by providing kindergarten dental screenings. Please refer to the WCPSS student/parent handbook. Good dental health is important to a student’s overall well-being and affects a child’s success and performance in the classroom.
School Dental Hygienists use a flashlight to provide a quick visual screening of the student’s teeth, unlike a dental exam by a dentist.
During dental screening, the School Dental Hygienist follows all CDC guidelines.
A letter with the screening results will be sent in student’s school folder ONLY if your child has
questionable or obvious dental needs. If needed, children with obvious dental needs may receive
an additional follow-up screening by the School Health Dental Hygienist later in the school year.
Parents/guardians may contact their child’s principal to opt out of dental screenings.
If you have any questions, please contact the school’s dental hygienist, Marla Jasperse, RDH, at
919-621-2480 or mjasperse@wcpss.net.
- Screening Dates - 9-3-24 (Tr. 1 & 4) and 9-10-24 (Tr. 2 & 3)
Spread the Love Peanut Butter Food Drive: In partnership with The Cheesecake Factory, our school will collect jars of peanut butter during the month of September. The peanut butter will be donated to the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle to be distributed to those in need. The class with the most jars collected will be rewarded with a pizza and cheesecake celebration courtesy of The Cheesecake Factory! The spread the love drive will run from 9/1-9/30.
