Family Conferences ~ Conferences will be held towards the end of November.  If you have not yet received sign-up information from your student's teacher, you should be receiving it soon.  Wednesday, November 19th of the first day of our five days of Family Conferences

Free Dental Screening ~ On Thursday Nov. 13th, Dientes Community Dental Clinic will be offering free dental services including: new patient exams, dental cleaning by dental hygienists, sealants, and X Rays.  The clinic will run from 8:30 – 3:00 in our multi-purpose room.  Please complete the attached form and return it to your student's teacher ASAP If your family already has Medi-Cal or other dental insurance, Dientes will bill them for their services, you will not be responsible for any payment. If your student, has no insurance and/or cannot afford the $68 fee, Dientes will definitely do all services for free.
