Dear JCMES Families,
We have so many upcoming events happening at JCM and in the community! Please read over this week’s newsletter for all the details!
The dentist is coming to JCMES! Smile Virginia, a traveling dental clinic, will be coming to JCMES on Thursday, November 7th and Friday, November 8th. Smile Virginia Dental Clinic is like any other dental provider and bills insurance for the services that they provide. If your child doesn't have dental insurance, you may choose to pay for your child to receive dental services ($74 for ages 12 and younger) or you may fill out an application to request for your child to receive donated dental care (preventive care only) once per school year. Services provided include: dental cleanings, x-rays, fluoride treatments, sealants, fillings, and extractions. SERVICES NOT PROVIDED: ANY DENTAL WORK NEEDING SEDATION AND CROWNS.
If you are interested in your child receiving dental services, please complete the form entirely and return it to school or register online at https://www.myschooldentist.com/JCRCVA_schsrm. ALL FORMS AND ONLINE REGISTRATIONS ARE DUE ON OR BEFORE FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1ST.
