Dear Parents/Guardians,

Please take note of the important information regarding the upcoming high school exams, scheduled from January 23 to January 29.

We encourage you to review the details carefully to ensure your child is fully prepared for this important period.  

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Reminder: Today is the LAST day the cafeteria will be open due to high school exams! 

But don’t worry – pizza will be sold in the cafeteria at lunch for Grade 7 & 8 students 

The Cafeteria will resume its services on the first day of Semester 2, Monday, February 3! 

Dear Parents/Guardians:

Suzanne Gravel and Sylvia Cunha registered dental hygienist (RDH) with Ottawa Public Health

will provide a dental screening on February 5,2025 * for students in Grade 7 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 advise the school.

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.

* Some date(s) may be subject to change

This dental screening is offered in accordance with the Ontario Public Health Standards, Oral

Health Protocol 2021 from the Ontario Ministry of Health. Personal health information collected

during the screening will be used for the purposes of delivering, administering, and managing

screening services and for statistical purposes provided under Sections 5 and 7 of the Health

Protection and Promotion Act (as amended) and the Ontario Public Health Standards (2018).

Information may be used and shared among Ottawa Public Health authorized employees only in

the provision of dental services. Questions concerning the dental screening, how to exclude your

child from the dental screening for this school year, the collection and use of this information

should be directed to the Supervisor of Dental Health Promotion, Ottawa Public Health, 400-1580

Merivale Rd., Ottawa, ON, tel.: 613-580-2424, ext 26376.

Ottawa Public Health’s Dental Health Team
