We will be hosting a Dual Immersion Parent Information Night on Tuesday, March 11th at 5:30 p.m. in the TES cafeteria. This meeting is for all incoming kindergarten students that are interested in being in the DI Program. It is not a kindergarten information night with the teachers, but a night for us to explain the differences between our traditional and DI program. If you know of anyone that has a student starting kindergarten next year, please share this information with them!
 
Our TES/TIS Book Club, The Anxious Generation, will be meeting on Wednesday, April 2nd @ 3:30 p.m. We have been meeting on Thursdays, so this is a change! Please join us if you can! We will be discussing Part 3 of the book in April and Part 4 in May. We will also be developing an Action Plan based on what we have read this semester. Mark Your Calendars!

School Climate Surveys - As part of monitoring our Ends Policy goal of fostering a safe and healthy community through “consistent student and staff culture across buildings which supports achieving our ends”, we will have students in grades 3-12, staff, and parents complete the School Climate Assessment Instruments (SCAI) developed and administered by the Alliance for the Study of School Climate (ASSC) in the month of March. The SCAI surveys, which are scientifically developed and third-party administered and analyzed, are rated as one of the most effective school climate tools. Below are the links to the parent survey in both English and Spanish. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to complete the survey, as it provides valuable data on areas of strength and improvement. This survey will be open through the month of March.

SKIPPY DENTAL CLINIC
Hello families,
In partnership with your child's school, Tri-County Health Network (TCHNetwork) is pleased to offer Skippy, a school based dental program providing comprehensive oral healthcare to your child at no out of pocket cost to you. Through Skippy we bring dental care to your children so they can spend more time in the classroom and less time traveling to a dentist!

The Skippy dental team provides the following preventive care:
•        Dental Exam
•        X-Rays
•        Fluoride treatment
•        Protective Sealants
•        Cleaning
•        Education to your children about how to brush and floss
•        Free toothbrush, toothpaste and floss
•        If needed, primary restorative care: in the form of Interim Temporary Restorations (ITR) and Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF)

This convenient dental visit takes about 30-45 minutes and gets your child back in the classroom quickly.

We will begin the elementary school clinic on Wednesday April 2nd, Thursday April 3rd and Friday April 4th.
If you would like to sign your child up, please fill out the consent form by going to https://tchnetwork.org/skippy-consent/. This consent is valid for the entire school year, both fall and spring semesters, unless revoked by a parent or guardian. Remember, if you sign up for the fall you are automatically enrolled for the spring semester. For questions, please email dental-coord@tchnetwork.org

Skippy is offered at no out-of-pocket costs to all families. If you have dental insurance, we will bill for services just like other dental offices. TCHNetwork offers health insurance enrollment assistance if you need insurance.
