There will not be a Windham Bus available on Tuesday 2/13 for the afternoon bus run. Along with that there will not be a morning or afternoon run for the following Wednesdays: 3/6, 4/3, 5/1, 5/29. If there is a substitute bus driver available we will update everyone with any changes. In the meantime, please plan for these dates. Students are able to access a bus from West River Transportation that picks up and drops off at the Townshend Country Store (at the bottom of Windham Hill). The morning pick up is 7:30 (so be there no later than 7:25) and afternoon drop off is 3:00.
Second Round of Dental in May
Leland & Gray Union Middle & High School is participating in the 802 Smiles Network, which promotes dental health programs in schools throughout Vermont. This means your child is eligible for a FREE dental screening and may be eligible to receive preventive dental services at no cost to you. All you have to do is complete the Consent Form (one per student).
You DO NOT need to fill out another consent form if your child participated in November, 2023.
Leland & Gray’s registered dental hygienist can provide the following free services:
Dental Screening (simplified dental check-up)
Fluoride Varnish (brush-on liquid that can help prevent cavities)
Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) (brush-on combination of silver and fluoride that can help stop cavities from getting bigger)
You can find information on the differences between varnish, sealant, and SDF here.
If you choose to participate, after your child is screened you will receive a follow-up letter explaining the services provided to your child and whether or not they recommend additional treatment.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact L&G’s nurse, Jorda Daigneault, or L&G’s School Social Worker, Alicia Carey.
