Hey Greyhound Fam! This school year we are so excited to offer School Smiles for an on site dental option for our RES students. After your child is seen the dentist will send home recommendations, if further care is needed. If so, the dentist will set up a future date to come back to school and fix any areas of concern. This is a great way for your child to receive the dental care they need without you needing to take off of work and your child doesn't miss much class time. Sign up at the link below or by scanning the QR code on the flyer. *reminder this uses one of your yearly visits to the dentist with your Medicaid or dental insurance. Fall dates are Sept 8-10. www.schoolsmiles.com/student-signup If you have any questions please contact Mrs Brandi in the Family Resource Center at: 270-538-4173 or brandi.rogers@mccracken.kyschools.us

¡Hola, Familia Greyhound! Este año escolar nos complace ofrecer School Smiles como opción dental en el centro para nuestros estudiantes de residencia. Después de la revisión dental, el dentista enviará recomendaciones a casa si necesita más atención. De ser así, programará una cita para volver a la escuela y corregir cualquier problema. Esta es una excelente manera de que su hijo reciba la atención dental que necesita sin tener que faltar al trabajo y sin perder mucho tiempo de clase. Inscríbase en el enlace de abajo o escaneando el código QR del folleto. *Recuerde que esto incluye una de sus visitas anuales al dentista con Medicaid o seguro dental. Las fechas de otoño son del 8 al 10 de septiembre. www.schoolsmiles.com/student-signup Si tiene alguna pregunta, comuníquese con la Sra. Brandi en el Centro de Recursos Familiares al 270-538-4173 o brandi.rogers@mccracken.kyschools.us
