Dental Screening and Black History Month

A reminder that this month is Black History Month! There will be an assembly on Tuesday, February 23rd at 9:00 am to celebrate Black History.


Also, there was a note sent home recently about dental screening. This free screening is taking place at McMurrich from Monday, February 1st to Wednesday, February 3rd. It is performed by a dental hygienist with sterilized instruments to assess the need for topical fluoride, scaling, sealant and any other obvious dental needs. If you do not want your child to be checked, please inform the school at 416-393-1770. After the screening, only parents whose children are identified as requiring dental services will be notified with a note sent home. Be advised that this screening does not replace the dental examination done by a licensed dentist. More information can be provided by contacting Toronto Public Health, Dental & Oral Health Services at 416-338-8399.
