Taylor Families - Group B Students:
Family First Health Dental Group will be in our school for Group B Students on Friday, September 25, 2020. If your student is in Kindergarten, Third or Seventh Grade, they are required to have a dental exam, OR, if you have received a letter from the school nurse over the summer that stated your child needs a dental exam, I would encourage you to allow these dentists to examine your child’s teeth.
If you DO NOT want your child to be examined by the Family First
Dentists, please contact your relevant school Nurse.
Parents and Caregivers: Thank you for your response to our first survey. Due to your responses we can make necessary adjustments to our Grab & Go program. We had an overwhelming majority of parents wanting meal bundles for 3 days reducing pick up to once a week instead of three times a week. We also put the grab and go menu option on Park and Taylor’s October menu and implemented more variety. We would like your opinion on one more item; timing of meal bundle pick up. If you have any other suggestion or concerns please email Alaina Melendez, Director of Food Services at amelendez@columbiabsd.org.
Please fill out the survey by Thursday, September 24th.
