DENTAL ASSESSMENT

This is a reminder to the parents of currently enrolled kindergartners that a dental assessment is required by May 2012. If your child has already had a dental assessment within 12 months of starting kindergarten, please have the dental health professional sign the appropriate form, which is available in the Pioneer and Walt Tyler school offices.  If you have any questions, please contact Cindy Dean at 620-7210.

To register your child, you are required to provide proof of the required immunizations, (Polio, DTaP, Hep B, MMR, and Varicella), and a legal certificate of birth.

KINDERGARTEN ENROLLMENT CHANGES

The passage of Senate Bill (SB) 1381 (Chapter 705/2010) has instituted the following change regarding the age requirement of children entering kindergarten. Children entering kindergarten must be 5 years old by:

• November 1 for the 2012-2013 school year.
• October 1 for the 2013-2014 school year.
• September 1 for the 2014-2015 school year and every year thereafter.

Flu season is almost here!  The El Dorado County Health Services Department is offering seasonal flu vaccines at low cost through a series of community flu clinics over the next several weeks.  Health care providers recommend that people get an annual flu vaccination to provide the best protection.  Both the nasal mist and flu shot will be available at the community flu clinics.  The cost of the vaccine is only $10, but the fee can be waived if there is a financial hardship. The Tdap (whooping cough) booster vaccine is also available at the flu clinics for $10.  Parents should bring their child’s immunization record to the flu clinics.  For the dates, times, and locations of the flu clinics, call the flu hotline at (530) 621-6188 or visit the Health Services Department website at www.edcgov.us/publichealth.
