Dear FCS families,

Starting in the 2024-2025 school year, “…a parent/guardian applying to have a child registered for the first time in kindergarten or first grade in a Michigan school shall comply with having their child receive a dental oral assessment no earlier than 6 months before the date of the child's registration with the school. Parents/guardians will be required to provide a written statement certifying that the child has received the dental oral assessment within the time frame required…” (PUBLIC HEALTH CODE (EXCERPT); Act 368 of 1978; legislature.mi.gov)

Cavities are common and can cause pain that can prevent a child from doing well in school. Flint Community Schools is partnering with the local health department and Mott Children’s Health Center to assist in providing access to this free, quick oral health assessment for students getting ready to register for kindergarten.

This letter is to inform you that Flint Community Schools has arranged to have Mott Children’s Health Center come to Freeman on 9 / 10 / 2025 to perform this needed assessment for our kindergarteners. Mott will be performing this quick assessment and provide the needed documentation for every kindergarten student that is present at school on those days. If you have any questions or concerns related to these screenings, please reach out to Health Services at 810-424-4087.

Last week this form was sent home with students. ONLY RETURN THIS FORM IF YOU DO NOT WANT THIS SERVICE.- Freeman Elementary School, School Wellness Program, Nurse Frawley
