Forms are due by tomorrow at 8:00am to the LHS or LEMS offices.
CareArc will be providing free dental screenings at Lyndon Schools on October 22nd, 2026. To
comply with Kansas State Statute 72-6251, school children (K-12) should receive annual school-based
dental screenings.
KDHE screenings identify the presence of decay, previous dental experience (fillings and/orsealants), infection, swelling, and pain. Parents and guardians are notified of the screening results, and those with dental treatment needs are referred to local dentists for care. School screenings are not a substitute for an examination by a dental professional, and it is recommended that all children have a dental home that provides regular, comprehensive dental care.
To participate in the screening, no action is required. If you would like your child to receive a fluoride varnish (in addition to the screening), please complete the top portion of the attached form. If you would like to opt your child out of the,screening, please complete the bottom portion of the attached form. All students will be screened unless opted out.
**If your child sees a dentist regularly and receives fluoride applications, please do not sign them up for additional applications. Most dental insurances only cover a certain number of applications per year, and we do not want that to affect how they will cover your child at their regular dental visit.
Remember, that thisis only a screening. Even if your child doessee a dentist regularly, I would encourage them to go through the screening as well. It is completely up to you, though.
***Each child will be screened unless opted out ahead of time by a parent/guardian signature.***
Forms will be available in the office for Middle School and High School students.
PLEASE RETURN FORM TO SCHOOL OFFICE BY FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16TH!
