Carson Grove ES News Update - Week of September 23rd
We had another great week of school at Carson Grove! It is great to see how excited everyone is becoming to participate in the Terry Fox assembly and walk this coming week. Part of that excitement is building because of the grade 3 to 5 cross country running team practices at recess. Many of our students are looking forward to participating in the regional cross country meet on October 10th.

Dental Screening at Carson Grove ES - October 1st and 2nd
Oumnia Bekhti a registered dental hygienist (RDH) with Ottawa Public Health will provide a dental screening on October 1st and 2nd, 2024 for students in JK, SK, Grade 2, Grade 4 and some follow-ups as needed. If your child’s grade is not selected, but you wish for the dental hygienist to see him/her, please contact the Carson Grove school office.
The dental screening is a no-touch technique: the RDH uses a disposable tongue depressor to look at your child’s mouth. This short visual assessment helps identify the need for dental care (infection, tooth decay, broken teeth or more). Appropriate measures are in place to limit the spread of illnesses, including hand hygiene and personal protective equipment for the RDH. Afterwards, your child will be given a report to take home which will explain the results of the dental screening. Some students may need follow-up dental screenings as needed. Some families may be eligible for free dental care. THE SCREENING DOES NOT REPLACE REGULAR DENTAL VISITS WITH YOUR FAMILY DENTIST.
