The PA School Code requires all children entering school for the
first time
(Kindergarten/first grade) and students in third and seventh grades to have a dental examination. This dental examination can be done by your family dentist or done by the school dentist during the coming school year.
A dental exam is considered current and is accepted if it is dated within 1 year prior to Sept. of this present school year until Thanksgiving vacation of next school year.
For example: The
current school year is Sept. 2009, so the dental exam must be dated between Sept. 2008-until Thanksgiving vacation 2009.
