The St. David’s Foundation Dental Program will be on campus on Wednesday, October 16th & Thursday, 17th to provide free dental screenings for all HSS-Austin students that would like to participate.
A licensed dentist will view the student’s teeth to determine if they need treatment. If the dentist determines the student needs treatment, they will receive a ‘Dental Treatment Consent Form’ for parent’s approval. Students who do not need further treatment will also receive a form letting their parents know that no treatment is necessary.

All students will receive the first form next week which is the Dental Screening Form. You only need to return this form if you DO NOT want your student to participate in the free dental screening.
Parent Teacher Conference Day is scheduled for the afternoon of Monday, October 14th as well as within the week. Your student’s teacher will send information home soon with more information for availability.
Monday, October 14th will be a student holiday and staff professional development day. There will not be school for students on this day.
To support Bullying Prevention Month, the goal is to encourage schools, communities and organizations to work together to stop bullying and cyber-bullying and put an end to hatred and racism by increasing awareness of the prevalence and impact of all forms of bullying on all children of all ages.
For the remainder of the month of October we’d like parents to assist with encouraging our students to continue their participation with the following activities:
The Week of October 7th – Make friends with someone new at school.
The Week of October 14th – Stand up for others week…be an Upstander not a Bystander
The Week of October 21st – Week of inclusion: don’t let anyone at school eat alone in the cafeteria or play alone on the playground.
The week of October 28th – start the week with conversations with your peers and meet about how you can change the culture at your school.
