Dental Assessment

Dear Pre-School Families (PRE-Kindergarten)

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 present at our upcoming kindergarten round-up events to offer access to this service. Mott will be performing this quick assessment and providing the needed documentation for every preschool child 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.
