The mobile dentist will be at Pine Crest on November 1st. Dental forms went home with each student at the end of the year last year and were given out at registration.

If you would like your child to be seen and have not yet completed a dental form, turn one in by the end of this week. Forms are available in the front office at Pine Crest.
