Weekly family talking point: coping when things are not going your way

We try to help students cope with frustration by providing them different coping strategies and helping them put things into perspective. This is hard when, to a kid, sometimes not having the right color of pencil can ruin their day.

Posibles temas de debate:  

1. What types of things at school really bother you?
2. What do you do to keep yourself calm?
3. Tell them some strategies you use when you get bothered or stressed.

Gracias, señor,

Jay Porter

Director, Spring Creek Elementary

Asistencia dental

Hello everyone Mr. Parks, our school social worker speaking here. I know dental assistance can be a really challenging thing to find for your little ones. Here is a great resource if you are able to qualify. However, if you do not qualify, they still offer prorated support as well. This may be a more viable option for your family during these tough times.

See the  Utah County College of Dental Hygiene website below for information about the Give Kids a Smile event on March 1, 2025.

• Utah County College of Dental Hygiene

Saturday, March 1st, 2025 at the Utah College of Dental Hygiene in Orem we will be holding Utah County Give Kids a Smile (GKAS) dental event. Volunteer dentists and hygienists will be on-hand to provide exams and perform limited procedures for qualified children.    To qualify for this program, household income must be at 150% of the Federal Poverty Level (see chart on website).  

If you meet the qualifications, and would like your child to receive dental care at this event, please fill out the the Health History and Consent Form below no later than February 20, 2025. The Utah Give Kids a Smile event has limited slots available. Complete this form as soon as possible to secure your child’s free appointment.

• Health History and Consent Form

If your application(s) is eligible you will be contacted for confirmation, and receive information about scheduling a specific time one week prior to the event.

If you have any questions about the “Give Kids a Smile” program and this opportunity, please contact GKAS@ucdh.edu
